“…Speech is the repetition of an object relation as well as the material for the living of ongoing relationships.

Horton, in particular, emphasized the solace function of child speech-the regulation of moods of self and other.…”

“…The solacing function of speech seemed to form the connective tissue of the analysis. Horton (1984) wrote about this use of language. He was interested in the way words can soothe and regulate.…”

Various features of relational perspectives on conflict are outlined. Points of contact and difference between relational and modern conflict theory are discussed. Five approaches to considering conflict are examined: countertransference conflict as the site of interfaces between the social and the intrapsychic; conflict within the register of speech; conflict within a theory of multiple identifications; conflict as the site of psychic change; and conflict in the context of intersubjectivity. Clinical vignettes are introduced to illustrate the scope and function of conflict within one relational perspective.

“…This is so because it is recognized as an object of comfort when the demands of the environment are so severe that it could even lead to the ego's fragmentation (Grinberg & Grinberg, 1984). Horton (1984) claims that Winnicott's Transitional Object Theory, in its broadest form is the theoretical basis for recognizing the importance of solacing objects. His paper "Language, Solace and Transitional Relatedness" is of special importance to this paper because it talks about the origin of a major part of linguistic competence, that is, the ability to infuse language with solacing qualities.…”

“…Although every language has prosody, "the melodic line produced by the variations of pitch, rhythm, and stress of pronunciation that bestow both semantic and emotional meaning to a speech" (Thoman, 1981), an individual can best appreciate the element of prosody in his mother tongue. Moreover, prosodic competence overlaps to some degree with solacing competence (Horton, 1984). A person who is not familiar with the prosody of a foreign language will never nd it solacing in the times of crises.…”

“…How can solace and transitional relatedness be related? Horton (1984) has dened it in the following manner -"Transitional relatedness is the person's unique experience of an object, activity or sound, whether animate or inanimate, tangible or intangible, in a reliably solacing manner based on the object's associative and symbolic connection with an abiding maternal primary process presence" (1984: 168).…”

Personnel selection constitutes a very important phase of man-power planning of human resource development. Personnel selection methods are designed with the goal of enabling those responsible for selection to attract and evaluate candidate's capabilities on these attributes. S e l e c t i o n r e f e r s t o a p r o c e s s o f m a t c h i n g t h e demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. Basic of selection is thus-individual difference selecting the most suitable ones from the available ones. This is done by using a number of scientic techniques. Large numbers of studies are available which show the widespread use of psychological tests in selection of personnel. A validation process is used to assess the extent to which the personnel selection methods provide valid predictors of job performance or other criterion variables. Various psychological tests are highly effective predictors of success. (Hough &Oswald 2000; Salgado& Cooper, 1999).Since earliest researches on personnel selection, assessment of cognitive ability has been one of the major techniques used to discriminate between candidates and to predict subsequent job performance. During the 1980s, several meta-analytic studies of criterion-related validity of c o g n i t i v e a b i l i t y t e s t s p r o d u c e d c o n c l u s i v e results (Schmidt&Hunter, 1998). The research literature on personnel selection methods generally focuses on one specic indicator of validity, the criterion-related validity coefcient. This is given prominence above all other indicators of validity. Clearly, in many ways this emphasis on the extent to which personnel selection procedures can adequately predict work criteria is appropriate. There is plenty of evidence that general cognitive ability is highly relevant in a wide range of jobs(Jensen, 1986) since most of the job requires a baseline of intelligence (Gottfredson, 1986; Ree,Earles,&Teachut, 1994) and also the measures of general cognitive ability represent the best predictors of performance. of the variance in multiple tests of specic ability (Deary, 2007) leaving some variance unaccounted for. ThePersonnel selection refers to a process of matching the demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. The objective of the present study was to develop, validate and standardize a cognitive battery for personnel selection. On the basis of review of literature and brain storming session carried out with the experts, pool of items was developed. The cognitive battery assesses 'g' measures uid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, general memory ability, form perception, perceptual speed, cognitive speed and broad retrieval ability. The item content in various tests were developed based on the narrow strata (stratum 1) given by Carroll (1993)in his model. It is a paper pencil group battery comprising 7 tests to measure7 abilities. The items have been developed in coral draw designing. Statistical Analysis was performed using the (S...
