    Aggression and general health problems among undergraduate university students
    (UMT Lahore, 2014) NEELAM TAHIR
    This study attempts to see the relationship between aggression and general health problems among undergraduate university students. The findings reveal that aggression and general health problems have direct relationship (r= .17, p<0.05). In addition general health is positively correlated with covert aggression (r=.24, p<0.01).Covert and overt aggression was measured through Buss Perry Aggression questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) which measures physical and verbal aggression (overt aggression), anger and hostility (covert aggression). Reliability of Buss Perry Questionnaire is .81.General health problems were measured by the general health questionnaire-30 (Goldberg, 1978). Hence it is concluded that the students having more aggression have high risk of developing general health problems. Moreover students having covert aggression have more tendencies to develop general health problems as compared to students having overt aggression.

    Marital conflict, self-silencing and marital adjustment among married couples
    (UMT Lahore, 2017) NEELAM TAHIR
    The present research aimed to investigate the relationship between romantic partner conflicts self-silencing and marital adjustment among married couples. It was hypothesized that romantic partner conflicts is likely to be positively correlated with self-silencing and marital adjustment. Self-silencing is likely to mediate the relationship between romantic partner conflict and marital adjustment. Correlational (cross sectional) research design was used. Sample of the study was comprised of 80 married couples (40= Men, 40= women) with (MMen=38.98, SDMen = 4.458) and (MWomen=35.33, SDWomen =4.643). The sample was recruited by using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Marital Adjustment Scale (Locke & Wallace, 1959), Romantic Partner Conflict Scale (Zacchilli, Hendrick, & Hendrick, 2009) and The Silencing the Self Scale (Jack, 1991) were used as the data collection instruments. The results showed that romantic partner conflict (compromise, avoidance, separation and submission) was found to be significantly positively associated with self-silencing (externalized self-perception, care as self-sacrifice, silencing the self and dividing self) and marital adjustment, whereas the interactional reactivity and domination (subscales of romantic partner conflict) were found to be significantly negatively associated with marital adjustment. Furthermore, results of direct effect showed that compromise, avoidance, separation and submission were found to be significant positive predictors of self-silencing while interactional reactivity and domination were found to be significant negative predictors self-silencing. Whereas avoidance, separation and submission and self-silencing were found to be significant positive predictors of marital adjustment. Domination was found to be significant negative predictor of marital adjustment whereas compromise and interactional reactivity were found non-significant predictors of marital adjustment. So it is suggested that marital and family counselors can develop different coping strategies like self-silencing to improve psychological health of couples by making them realize about the importance of self-silencing in married relationship.
