In the recent times, researchers have shown an increased interest in positive psychological capital (PsyCap). However, it is acknowledged that due to the limited number of studies conducted on the antecedents of psychological capital, there is a lack of sufficient data for conclusively proving the antecedents of PsyCap. Consequently, this article aims to explore the potential antecedents of PsyCap as a reliable source of data in the context of rural school teachers. The focus is to investigate both the individual differences and the contextual factors as desirable variables that constitute PsyCap among the school teachers of rural Jharkhand, India. Samples of 1,120 respondents from different rural schools were collected and analysed with Structural Equation Modeling (AMOS 20.0). The findings of the study explained that both the individual differences ( proactive personality and emotional intelligence) and the contextual factors ( perceived organizational support, servant leadership and meaningful work) have a positive relationship with PsyCap. The impact of PsyCap on teacher performance can form the basis for further research on the subject. JEL Codes: M12, M53

that ORS involved a "contrite" reaction, such as repeated hand-washing, excessive use of perfumes and deodorants, frequently changing clothes, and restricting social contact. 7 The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) characterizes anthropophobia as a subcategory of social phobias. 10 As per DSM-5, ORS is classified under "Other Specified Obsessive Compulsive Disorders" a variant of TK. 11,12 Similarly ICD-11 has considered ORS under obsessive compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs). 13,14 Majority of these cases might have been diagnosed as phobias; hence, there is a lack of literature on this condition. The absence of sufficient reports on the distinct psychopathological profile of anthropophobia, 2 limited data on its prevalence, 1 and the ongoing debate over its classification in the diagnostic systems 15 make this disorder inimitable and worthy of research. To the authors' knowledge, no case has been reported so far in the Indian context. This case series illustrates two cases, highlighting the challenges in assessment and the treatment outcomes.

Background: The prevalence of mental health problems in adolescents has been identified as a global concern. Early screening and identification can offer benefits in terms of primary prevention and reduced healthcare costs. This study aimed to develop a tool to assess the risk of developing mental health problems in adolescents. Methods: The study followed an exploratory sequential design and was divided into five phases. The Multidimensional Psychosocial Risk Screen (MPRS) is a newly developed self-report measure. The various steps in its development and validation have been elaborated. The MPRS was evaluated with a sample of 934 adolescents aged 12-18, spread across the 8th-12th grade. Results: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a robust factor structure. The extracted five factors were named as Parent–Child Relationship (PCR), Self-Concept (SC), Teacher–Student Dynamics (TSD), Social Media Use (SMU), and Peer Interaction (PI). The reliability of the subscales ranged from 0.60 to 0.80. The overall reliability of the scale was good (a = 0.87). Convergent validity of the scale was established using standard measures of risk factors and emotional and behavioural problems. Conclusions: The MPRS can be considered an effective tool with an adequate factor structure and good psychometric properties. It can be beneficial in the early detection of vulnerabilities to mental health problems in adolescents and, therefore, seen as a key element in primary prevention and fostering individualized interventions.
