The results were analyzed for three levels of achievement Above Average, Average, and Below Average . The analysis of data showed that achievement and cognitive problems are prevalent in all three levels of achievement, yet the functioning was not consistent with the diagnosis of SLD’s. On dictation test Urdu four graphical errors were idenetified (Omission, Addition, Phonetic Attempt, and Bizarreness).

Three scales namely Gender Role Conflict Scale, Intimate Relationship Scale and Adult Attachment Scale (Hazen & Shaver, 1986) were used in the study to test the main hypotheses. In the first part of the study two scales Pakistan Gender Role Conflict Scale, and Intimate Relationship Scales were developed. Factor analyses showed two factor solution for both scales. After that piloting was done. The sample of the study for the final analysis was 502 participants with the distribution of 286 (57%) men and 216 (43%) women. The mean age of the sample was (M= 20.14) (SD= 2.00). The findings of the study showed that secure attachment has significant negative correlation with externalized gender role conflict. Whereas, ambivalent and avoidant attachment have significant positive correlation with externalized gender role conflict. Moreover, gender role conflict is significantly positively related intimate relationship conflict. Also secure attachment is strongly positively correlated to intimacy in relationships. Whereas, ambivalent and avoidant attachment has significant negative relationship with intimacy in relation. Moreover, regression analysis showed that mother’s education and externalized conflict are predictors of intimate relationship. However, educational class along with internalized and externalized conflict also appeared to be predictors of intimate relationship. Moreover, attachment appeared to be mediator between gender role conflict and intimate relationship. Whereas, men and women have significant difference in terms of gender role conflict but there is no significant difference in terms of attachment styles and intimate relationships. Initial attachment effect socialization process that results in conflict while developing gender role. It further impact one’s ability to form and maintain intimate relations and these relational issues have vast implication in clinical setup.

    (UMT, Lahore, 2018) Faiqa Yaseen
    This study investigated perceived psychosocial problems, social support and coping in the wives of emigrants. The mediating role of perceived social support is also investigated in relationship between perceived psychosocial problems as independent variable and coping as dependent variable. Mixed methods research design was used. This study was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, 25 wives were approached through snow ball sampling technique. In- depth interviews were taken, audiotaped and transcribed. Items were collated and validated by experts. Perceived Psychosocial problems in the Wives of Emigrants (PPWE) and Religious, Active and Social-support Coping (RASC) scales were developed and psychometric properties were established. Factor analyses revealed three factors named low- mood, psychosomatic and social insecurity for PPWE scale and three factors named religious, active and social –support coping for RASC scale. In Phase II, snow ball sampling technique was used to investigate the relationship between perceived psychosocial problems, perceived social-support and coping from 377 wives of emigrants. A matched control group of 50 wives living with husbands was also compared with a group of 50 wives of emigrants. Results suggested that there was a significant difference in perceived psychosocial problems in the wives of emigrants than wives living with husband. Findings suggested that there was a significant relationship between perceived psychosocial problems, perceived social support and coping (religious, active and social-support). Multiple hierarchical regression analyses indicated that perceived psychosocial problems and social support were significant predictors of religious and social-support coping. Furthermore, mediation analyses found that perceived social support partially mediated the relationship between perceived psychosocial problems and religious and social-support coping. The two culturally sensitive measures PPWE and RASC provided early and timely identification will help in estimating the need for intervention and establishing the mental health services in community.
