Formulating an Integrated Intervention Programme: Reshaping the Brain-Behaviour Functioning of Children in Conflict with Law in India

In this modern era, the lifestyle trajectories are becoming much varied and less predictable. The most maladaptive and detrimental outcomes of these are probably borne by the children and youth of the society. Juvenile delinquency is perhaps the most prominent amongst them. Children in Conflict with Law are children who participate in illegal activities that are in line with criminal acts as per the Indian Penal Code.

Personality and Personal Growth in the Working Midlifers

The current study attempted to explore midlife personal growth (generativity) and how it relates to the personality structure and domains of the working midlifers. The Loyola Generativity Scale, by McAdams & de St. Aubin (1992) and The Neo Five Factor Inventory by Costa & McCrae, (1984) were used. The sample comprised of 548 working male and female midlifers. The data were statistically analyzed by computing the Analyses of variance (ANOVA), post-hoc analyses, Pearson’s Product-moment Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analyses (SMRA).Findings revealed a significant age and sex effect on the generativity. Generativity was significantly correlated to and significantly predicted by several of the personality variables in the current sample. Implications of the findings are mentioned herein.
