Item Psychometric properties of Hindi translated version of Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS).(Journal of Indian Health Psychology,, 2009) Choubisa, RajneeshNumerous implicit attempts have added explicitly to the understanding of the researchers’ thoughts, beliefs, and actions that foster knowledge in the growing field of positive psychology. Therefore, in a submission to support the conception behind thse formulation of Values in Action, present research has established the psychometric properties of Hindi translated version of Values in action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) by using a sample of (N=186) undergraduate students from Delhi and Rajasthan. This article unveils the psychometric properties especially the correlations and factor structure of the translated version and in addition, the internal consistency reliability statistics (Cronbach’s alpha) with Comparative reference to the values obtained elsewhere. Finally, we got highly inter-correlated character strengths (0.51-0.80) and factor analysis gave us a “one-factor solution” that is discussed herein.Item Effectiveness of Self Focused Intervention for Enhancing Students’ Well-Being(Journal of Indian Academy of Applied Psychology, 2009) Choubisa, RajneeshThis study is a direct implication of the usage of a positive psychology based intervention module delivered in a classroom setting where the effects of the various strategies on the students were assessed. Presumably, participants, who have undergone the intervention programme, would be having a positive appraisal style. The students, who enrolled themselves for Positive Psychology course, participated in this study. Out of 90 participants, finally, 77 participants’ qualitative and quantitative data were taken into account. The results have been obtained by a pre-test and post-test within group experimental design for checking the significant differences as a way to measure of effectiveness of the multi-component self focused intervention programmeItem A Comparative Analysis of Positive Psychological Capital Amongst Public & Private Sector Employees(AIMA, 2009) Choubisa, RajneeshThe thought for this article surges out of a direct implication of an apparently overt yet unspoken phenomenon pertaining to the field of organizational behavior in the context of Indian scenario wherein the world of work is archetypically segregated per se into government (secure but low paid) and private (unsecure but high paid) sectors of employment. Although formal and informal sectors do exist as per established economic theories but contemporary Indian psyche is preoccupied with opportunities in the above mentioned sectors only. It is being hypothesized and proved herein through inferential statistics & tests of significance that, as far as the implications and extension of positive psychology at workplace is concerned, there tend to be radical differentiation amongst the employees in both these sectors specifically in terms of strengths, virtues, and the proclaimed core constructs; self efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency of positive organizational behavior. Eventually, these results call for distinct human development and management practices. In addition to psychoanalytic discussion as epitome, some insights into the measure with special reference to the prevailing economic crisis and recommendations for future research are provided in the end.
