Psychology is one of the most popular social sciences all over the world, both at graduate and post graduate levels. For centuries, Psychology, as a part of Philosophy shared its aim of understanding the nature including human nature. The method of inquiry used was mainly observation, supported by logic for drawing inferences and making predictions and then validating all these by further experiences. For thousands of years, psychology and philosophy remained convenient bedfellows. The wake- up call came around the turn of the 20th century. The developments in the natural sciences like physics, chemistry, biology and experimental methodology forced some to look at the human being more interms of behaviour rather than Psyche’. Psychology introduced more objectivity than Philosophy and subjected their conjectures to rigors of scientific testing.

    (University of Management and Technology Lahore, 2014) Suneel, Ivan
    Alcoholism is a family disease that renders the individual and the family dysfunctional. Children or adult children of alcoholics assume certain roles to deal with the chaos in the family. Thus in order to assess the roles of the children an indigenous scale was constructed and validated namely Role Identification Scale. Factor analysis revealed a four factor (the Hero, the Aggressor, the Withdrawn and the Mascot). RIS was found to have adequate psychometric properties. Moreover, General Health Questionnaire was used for the assessment of screening and severity of mental health functioning. The main study comprised of 400 adult children of alcoholic fathers (50% Male and 50% Female) between ages 18-25 (M 21.45, SD 2.37) and matric as the minimum level of education were administered RIS, GHQ and a demographic questionnaire. Results indicated that the two roles namely the Hero and the Mascot were strong negative predictors of mental health problems and the other two roles namely the Aggressor and the Withdrawn were found to be positive predictors of mental health problems.

    Parenting, criminal thinking styles, and identity among juvenile delinquents
    (University of Management and Technology, 2017) Fatima Sana
    The current research was aimed at developing an inventory of criminal thinking styles for juvenile delinquents and determining the mediating role of parenting styles between juveniles' criminal thinking styles and criminal social identity. The total sample consisted of 211 juvenile delinquents from different prisons. An inventory was developed to assess criminal thinking among juvenile delinquents known as Juvenile Criminal Thinking Styles' Inventory that was comprised of three scales, namely Juvenile Social Alienation Scale, Juvenile Vindication Scale, and Juvenile Domination Scale. Each scale was explored, developed, and validated, separately. Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ; Buri, 1991; Babree, 1997) was used to examine the proposed mediating role of parenting styles between the relationship of criminal thinking styles and criminal social identity and Measure of Criminal Social Identity (MCSI; Boduszek et al., 2012; Shagufta, 2015) was used to examine the standardized direct and indirect relationship with criminal thinking through proposed mediators. The results indicated that the inventory found to have high internal consistency, convergent, and concurrent validities. Moreover, parenting styles, criminal thinking styles, and criminal social identity were significantly associated with each other, while parenting and social identity served as significant predictors of criminal thinking. Also, the parenting styles partially mediated the relationship of juveniles' criminal thinking and criminal social identity. The findings indicate that delinquents are likely to develop distorted thought patterns through the bonds with criminal peers and that this can be invoked by parental authority styles. Conclusively, the research outcomes are discussed in terms of the implications of criminal thinking styles for juvenile correctional counselling services and propose further research.
