2025-03-06T21:52:23+00:00

In this study, the enneagram is a tool consisting of nine points that depict personality styles.
Adults with varying profiles of self-directedness, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence
character characteristics experience varying degrees of well-being. It is still unknown,
nevertheless, how multifaceted character profiles affect the overall welfare of adolescents. The
study employs a qualitative and descriptive research approach to achieve three objectives.
First, in this, we explore the impact of Enneagram Personality Traits on adolescent well-being,
and in this, we define all the nine traits of personality. Second, the author investigates the
Relationship between Enneagram Personality Traits and the Daily life of Adolescents. The
study is focused on the daily life of adolescents which is a vital component to understanding
the personality of any person. Third, to Assess the Role of Enneagram Personality Traits in
Social Relationships and Peer Dynamics to improve their social personality growth. The
analysis of the nine enneagram types revealed that personalities are typically more selfdeceiving and restrictive than liberating. People will gain fresh insights into who they are and
how they relate to others when they review the enneagram’s data. The research showed how
parenting styles and the enneagram serve as learning mediators for achieving social and daily
goals. Enneagram intensive training might be helpful in fostering personal development.

Employees are the heart of any organization. For any organization to operate efficiently and without any interruption, employee cooperation is a necessary component. It is of utmost importance that the employees of an organization not only have a good relationship with the top management and coworkers but also, they maintain a healthy and professional relationship with the public or clients too. Government is the system in which many people are gathered together to serve the public under different departments. It is the place in which workers get a chance to interact with the public directly especially workers in local self-government. Government employees are regularly trained in their responsibilities and duties, while the approach may differ by agency or government level. But still, there are situations in which employers can not involve fully in their job because for some reasons. For example, the type of job they are involved in, unwanted anxieties and stress, and maybe lack of confidence too. Broadly conceptualized, mindfulness has been described as a non-elaborative, nonjudgmental present-centered awareness in which each thought, feeling, or sensation that arises in the attentional field is acknowledged and accepted as it is. So this study aims to find out the relationship between self-efficacy and job involvement among government employees and whether mindfulness can bring any positive changes in these variables.

2025-02-27T23:43:05+00:00

Background: Cancer and its treatment often lead to significant changes in body image, which may impact the overall quality of life (QoL) of survivors. Understanding the relationship between body image and various QoL sub-dimensions can help in designing effective psychological and social interventions.

Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between body image and QoL among cancer survivors, focusing on its sub-dimensions: negative feelings, positive feelings, cognitive problems, sexual problems, physical pain, fatigue, and social avoidance. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was used to assess the strength and direction of these associations.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among cancer survivors, utilizing standardized scales to measure body image and QoL. Correlation and SEM analyses were performed to explore direct relationships. Model fit indices were evaluated to ensure the robustness of the proposed model.

Results: The findings indicated that body image was significantly associated with all QoL sub-dimensions. Higher body image satisfaction was linked to lower negative feelings (β = -0.45, p < 0.001), cognitive problems (β = -0.32, p < 0.01), sexual problems (β = -0.50, p < 0.001), physical pain (β = -0.40, p < 0.001), fatigue (β = -0.42, p < 0.001), and social avoidance (β = -0.47, p < 0.001), while it positively predicted positive feelings (β = 0.38, p < 0.001). The SEM model demonstrated a good fit (CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.048).

Conclusion: Body image plays a crucial role in predicting QoL outcomes among cancer survivors. Interventions aimed at improving body image perceptions could enhance emotional, cognitive, and social well-being, leading to a better overall quality of life.

Technology dependence is an important public health problem. The objective of this research is to investigate the association between rapidly increasing internet addiction, obesity, and sleep quality, a major health problem in youth. In total 30 university students (15 males and 15 females; age 18-22 years) were included in the study from Lucknow University with a purposive sampling method. Sleep Quality Scale was used to evaluate sleep quality; Overweight related well being (ORWELL) evaluates obesity and Young’s Internet Addiction Test was used to assess Internet addiction among university students. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and t-test were used in data analysis. In this study, findings revealed that the Internet Addiction Test scores of males were significantly higher than females. Positive correlations were found between the Internet Addiction Test scores and sleep quality scores whereas a negative relationship was found between the Internet Addiction Test and Obesity scores. 57.3% of students were not addicted to the Internet. 35.0% of students were mildly addicted while 7.4% of students were moderately addicted and 0.3% of them have a severe addiction to the internet. A significant association was found between academic performance and Internet Addiction. Also, Internet Addiction had no significant association with Sleep quality and Obesity.
