University students face various stressors related to academics, personal issues, and their environment. This stress can negatively impact health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aimed to explore stressors influencing Palestinian dentistry students at Arab American University and their relationship with HRQOL. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among undergraduate dentistry students. Stressors across individual, academic, faculty, and institutional domains were measured. HRQOL was assessed across psychological occupational,personal and social, physical, and religious and spiritual domains. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modeling. Key stressors included academic workload, faculty relations, clinical training, and social adjustment. These significantly correlated with poorer HRQOL, especially psychological wellbeing and academicperformance. Regression analysis found higher anxiety, time management difficulties, instructor attitude, and dietary changes as top predictors of reduced HRQOL. Palestinian dentistry students face multifaceted stressors that profoundly impact HRQOL. A supportive educational environment encompassing counseling services, mentorship programs, stress management training, and student-centered policies is crucial. This study highlights specific stressors affecting an under-researched population, guiding context-appropriate interventions to improve wellbeing and academic outcomes.

This study explores the lived experiences of pellet gun victimization among individuals in Kashmir using a phenomenological approach. Ten participants directly exposed to pellet gun violence were interviewed. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used for data analysis. Physical injuries led to severe emotional dysregulation, including irritability, aggression, and frustration. Victims reported disrupted eating patterns and psychological trauma. Their self-identity was deeply affected, marked by role reversal, temporal disconnection, guilt, and worthlessness. Economic struggles emerged as a major challenge. Academically, vision loss and trauma-induced distress resulted in diminished motivation and uncertainty about continuing education. Socially, many victims faced victim-blaming, though parental support served as a crucial resilience factor. Spiritual beliefs and religious practices, like prayer, helped individuals cope, avoid self-harm, and stay resilient during hardship. The study highlights the need for trauma-informed interventions, social inclusion programs, and faith-based approaches to support survivors of pellet gun.

This study aimed to reveal the traits of n-power, illusory superiority, and Schadenfreude through Pub-G and also check the relationship between these traits. Simultaneously, the predictive role of Time spent on Pub-G on these traits was explored. The questionnaire was traits-related statements of Pub-G users. The statements were framed for the dimensions- “traits of n-power”, “illusory superiority”, and “Schadenfreude”. The results exhibited a significantly positive correlation in all the three combinations i.e, a good correlation between n-Power and Illusory Superiority, a Moderate Correlation between Illusory Superiority and Schadenfreude, and a low correlation between n-Power and Schadenfreude. We also found that time spent on PUB-G for more than 4hrs significantly predicted Illusory Superiority, n-Power, and Schadenfreude but the overall variance explained in Schadenfreude by Time intervals was found to be insignificant. However, time intervals below 4hrs showed mixed results on these three variables. The current study is centered on the role of varied time intervals in playing Pub -G on different Socio-Cognitive traits (Illusory Superiority, n-Power, and Schadenfreude) and also how these traits are correlated to each other. We found a substantial role of time in revealing the traits but it’s highly suggested to look for other determinants like Locus of Control, Time Paradox, and many other social and cognitive factors. Sample size and sample proportion (Male/ Female) should also be taken care of.

This study aimed to explore the association of religiosity with life satisfaction among the parents of the political prisoners of north Kashmir. Participants of the study were confirmed from Baramulla district from North Kashmir. The selection of participants was made through purposive and snowball sampling. In the initial setting, researchers find it difficult to recruit participants that led to the establishment of four key informants out of those two were government employees, and two were village heads. The recruitment process continued until desired results were achieved. The statistical treatment of raw data was given by using independent sample t-test and Pearson product-moment correlation between religiosity and life satisfaction among the participants. To expand our understanding of the research problem, a simple linear regression was carried out to find the impact of religiosity on the satisfaction of life. Based on gender, the findings of the study exhibited that females scored higher than males on religiosity; nonetheless, females showed significantly lower on life satisfaction as compared to their counterparts, which is also reported in literature. However, religiosity was overall considerably and positively correlated with life satisfaction.

Developments in positive psychology paved the way for shifting the focus from the weaknesses and deficits to the individuals’ strengths and resources. These developments gave impetus to the research exploring the predictors of the mental well-being of students. The role of psychological capital in students’ mental well-being is an expansion of Luthans and associates’ research in an organisational setting. The present study focused on PsyCap as a resource that can impact the mental well-being of students. The current investigation’s primary aim was to examine the predictive relationship of Psychological Capital with undergraduate students’ mental health. A cross-sectional, exploratory study survey method was used to collect and analyse results; descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were done. The study results indicated that the dimensions of PsyCap such as hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism (HERO) were correlated with the mental health of the graduate students, and there was a positive predictive relationship between PsyCap and mental health.

The present study aimed to examine the life satisfaction, spiritual beliefs and gratitude of research scholars. Study was conducted in order to explore the life satisfaction in relation to spiritual beliefs and gratitude among male and female participants coded as research scholars. A convenience sample of 60students, including 30 male and 30 female were selected in order to make study more authentic and reliable. The findings of the study showed a significant relationship between spiritual beliefs and gratitude in relation to life satisfaction among research scholars
