, pp 3-12
With a global increase in usage of artificial intelligence (AI) across all ages, with the help of literature reviews, the present study tries to understand the extent to which AI is capable to be ethical, understand cultural differences as well as subjective nature of emotions among individuals. The present study proposed certain research questions and tried to find out the extent to which the implications of AI is beneficial to individuals of all ages, be it school- going children, employees and technologists. The findings of the present study revealed certain contradictory results. It was found that, irrespective of regular formulation of ethical guidelines, it is an everyday challenge to prevent data hacks and cybercrimes. Further, the applications like learning languages are not culture- friendly and it is still difficult for AI to replicate emotions completely due to the subjectivity. The results of the present study reflect benefits of AI towards contribution of development of children since childhood to old age, but it also highlights the threats that are being posed by the AI applications. It also implies that the IT industry should develop AI applications in consonant with the cultural context. It also concludes that though humans’ emotions are being influenced by the applications, attempts should be made that AI has a positive impact on human emotions.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Ethical guidelines, Cultural context, Emotional issues, Human behaviour

, No. 2
, pp 18-25
Authors: Shashi Darolia* and Jyotshna Tyagi**
The study was designed to explore main and interactive effects of personality and situation on behaviour in a dyadic setting. A total of 180 XIth and XIIth grade students (90 male, 90 female) was drawn from various schools in Kurukshetra and Karnal towns of Haryana (India). All the participants received NEO Five Factor Inventory-Revised (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Behaviour of the participants was observed through a video recording (with their knowledge) in three dyadic experimental situations, i.e., unstructured, co-operative, and competitive. Thirty-four behavioural characteristics were rated on Riverside Behavioural Q-sort (Funder, Furr & Colvin, 2000) by experimenter. In first two situations the pairs of male and female participants were random, while in third situation the pairs were same as in second situation. Only the behaviours which were endorsed by 25% of the participants were retained for further analysis. Current analysis involved 34 behaviours of low and high scoring cases on N and E personality traits across three situations through 2×3 ANOVA. Results of two-way ANOVA indicated that personality trait N had influence on seven of the thirty-four behaviours while E impacted eight of them. Influence of situation was more persistent than personality factors, nine of the social behaviours differed across situations. In two cases neuroticism-situation interaction was found significantly influencing the behaviour, while extraversion-situation interaction was found significant in one of the behaviours only. Results were discussed in the light of pertinent theoretical models and earlier researches in the field.
Keywords: Personality, situation, Q-sort, person-situation-behaviour triad.

| 6 | A Quantitative Study on the Role of Parenting Styles in Emotion Regulation and Learned Helplessness Among Young Adults |
Indian Journal of Psychology and Education
Artilces 2024
, Vol 14
, No. 2
, pp 32-41
This quantitative study investigates the connections between parenting styles, learned helplessness (LH), and emotion regulation (ER) among young adults aged 18-25. Drawing on a diverse participant pool, this research contributes insights into the role of parenting in shaping crucial facets of psychological well-being. Three predominant parenting styles—authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative—were assessed in relation to LH and ER. The findings reveal that authoritative parenting emerged as a pivotal factor, while authoritarian and permissive parenting styles demonstrated no substantial associations with LH or ER.Young adults raised in authoritative environments displayed a statistically significant negative correlation with LH. This suggests that authoritative parenting, characterized by warmth and appropriate control, may protect against the development of learned helplessness behaviors. Moreover, authoritative parenting exhibited a significant positive relationship with ER, indicating that those exposed to this parenting style tend to possess superior emotion regulation skills, underscoring the role of nurturing and supportive family environments, where young adults receive emotional warmth and reasonable boundaries. This study advances knowledge of how parenting styles can shape emotional well-being and psychological resilience. The findings highlight the significance of authoritative parenting practices and lay the foundation for future investigations considering cultural variations and other contextual factors, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between parenting styles and young adult psychological well-being.
Keywords: Parenting styles, learned helplessness, emotion regulation, authoritative parenting, permissive parenting, authoritarian parenting.

| 7 | Environmental Consciousness, Environmental Concern, and Pro-Environmental Behaviour among University Students |
Indian Journal of Psychology and Education

, No. 2
, pp 42-52
Authors: Cecily Shibi Netto*
Pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) usually arises from environmental consciousness and environmental concern. It is based on the implication that the ecological environment should be sustained for future generations. Therefore, the younger generation can make an effort through their PEB to maintain the environment. This study examines the association between environmental consciousness, environmental concern, and PEB among students at the University of Kerala. Additionally, the study evaluates the direct and indirect impact of environmental consciousness on PEB through environmental concern. The study follows a cross-sectional descriptive research design. A sample of 225 students were purposively drawn from among the students. Previously validated measuring instruments were used to measure environmental consciousness, environmental concern, and PEB. The findings demonstrated a significant positive link between environmental consciousness and environmental concern, a moderate relationship between environmental consciousness and PEB and between environmental concern and PEB. It was also revealed that environmental consciousness significantly impacts both environmental concern and PEB. However, environmental concern does not affect PEB. The results also showed a partial mediation effect between these variables. Additionally, the majority of the students indicated a medium-to-low level of PEB. The findings and implications for theory and research were discussed.
Keywords: Environmental Consciousness, Environmental Concern, Pro-environmental behaviour, PEB, University Students

Authors: Savitha Kamakshi* and Sarah Sruti Lall**
Emerging adults is a transition period where individuals explore different aspects of their life such as love, work and world views and tend to arrive at enduring choices. It is important to understand the psychological factors that underlie this period of transition and self-exploration. Personality of an individual influences how an individual understands his emotional states and that of others which is crucial during self-exploration. Research on emerging adults is limited and has yielded varying results, considering that it is a phase where individuals experience a series of developmental changes or challenges. The present study aims to understand the correlation between trait emotional intelligence and Big Five Personality traits in emerging adults thereby enriching Indian literature. Pearson’s correlation was used to understand the relationship between the two variables. Digital media was used to collect a sample of 246 individuals (122 males and 124 females). Results indicated that extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness was positively correlated with trait emotional intelligence and neuroticism was negatively correlated with trait emotional intelligence. Based on the results, training model and interventions can be designed to increase the emotional intelligence of emerging adults and thereby facilitate adaptive coping strategies.
Keywords: Big Five Personality, trait emotional intelligence, emerging adults

| 12 | The Societal Obligation of Act of Gift Exchange: A Psychological Perspective |
Indian Journal of Psychology and Education
Artilces 2024
, Vol 14
, No. 2
, pp 73-77
Authors: Gurmangeet Kaur Pandey*
In this article, an attempt is made to examine the sociological and psychological underpinnings of the act of gift exchange. A well-known statement given by Marcel Mauss i.e. ‘the exchange of gifts is a discontinuous succession of generous acts ’ in his book ‘The Gift’ is very useful to analyse these underpinnings. First, there is an attempt to define what is a gift. Definitions given by Mauss and Levi-Strauss are used for this purpose. The essay then talks about the factors that make gift exchange a discontinuous act. Then there is a major discussion on whether the act of gift exchange is generous or not. Multiple perspectives are used for this purpose. Illustrations are taken from Mauss’s, Bourdieu's, Polyani’s, and Parry’s conceptualization of gift exchange and give and take. Then there is a discussion about gifts given to paternal aunts and the practice of giving ‘shagun’ in Indian society to highlight the role of self-interestedness, obligation, and expectations in the gift exchange. Gift exchange within family in Western society is also discussed for the same purpose. It is concluded that although the act of gift-giving is discontinuous it is not truly generous. There are always certain self-interests whether material or immaterial which initiate and guide the act of gift exchange. It should be noted that social and psychological factors are mostly intertwined and it is not possible to compartmentalize the two in watertight compartments.
Keywords: Gift exchange, generous, self-interestedness, Psychological motives, Social Obligations

This study focuses on the relationship between rumination and stress among people of age groups 18-45 years (Ist age group (18-30 years) and IInd age group (31-45 years). The association between ruminating and its associated factors has been the subject of extensive research. But still, research is scarce on rumination. The study examine the relationship between rumination and stress among people of the 18-45 age groups separately and compared their results. Rumination has been different in men and women but specifically, the correlation was stronger for women than men. A separate survey for middle-aged people (31-45 age group) was conducted. The findings confirm many of the hypotheses about the connection between stress and rumination in both men and women. A strong rumination relationship with stress among women is mostly associated with lower resilience levels and diminished self-concept in comparison to men
Keywords: Rumination, stress, resilience, self- concept
