Effect of media portrayed thin ideal images on adolescent girls
(UMT.Lahore, 2012) Marium Javaid Bajwa
Media portrayal of images of thin model girls are said to have created new socio-cultural ideals for young women, which are affecting them in ways that include internalization of thin figures. This has lead to low self-esteem, negative affect and body dissatisfaction among young girls. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of exposure to media portrayed thin ideal images on women’s mood and body satisfaction. Sample comprised of 97 female undergraduate students aged 16-21 participated in the study. Scores on positive and negative level of mood, body dis/satisfaction, self-esteem and discrepancy between ideal self and actual self were worked out as a baseline data before random assignment of the subjects was made to experimental (N=49) and control conditions (N=47). After exposing the experimental group to thin-ideal images, scores of the participants was obtained afresh as a post-test on mood affect and body dis/satisfaction. BMI (Body Mass Index) was also calculated at this stage. Results suggested that exposure to thin-ideal images increased negative affect significant, whereas affect on body satisfaction could not be established. Self-esteem played a major role towards internalization of media thin-ideal images; those with low self-esteem showed increased negative mood and low body satisfaction than those with high self-esteem. Participants with discrepancy between their ideal self and actual self displayed low self-esteem and low body satisfaction. Thus low self-esteem of students were more vulnerable to mood affect and body dissatisfaction. Likewise overweight persons (with high levels of BMI) suffered from these affects more than average and thin weight persons.
A study of women empowerment in family settings
(UMT.Lahore, 2013) Ayesha Siddique
Women Empowerment has become a matter of interest for many social scientists recently as it is considered to be a major goal for developing countries in order to pace their development process. Women make up more than more than half of the total population of many developing and under developing countries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the differences between working and non-working women on Women Empowerment Questionnaire (WEQ) in family settings. Moreover, the relationship of education, family system and years of marriage with empowerment level of women was also explored. The sample of the study (N=100) consisted of married women including 50 working and 50 non-working women. A self-designed questionnaire (Women Empowerment Questionnaire) was used to measure the empowerment level of the women on the subscales of Economic, Social, Interpersonal and Legal Empowerment. The results suggested that that there was no significant difference in the level of empowerment between working and non-working women. Family system (nuclear and joint) also did not appear to have effect on the empowerment level of the women. However, significant differences were found in the empowerment level with reference to the years of marriage of the women, particularly in interpersonal and legal domain of empowerment. Similarly, significant differences were found in the interpersonal and legal empowerment on the basis of education of the women participants.

(UMT.Lahore, 2014) ZAINAB JAVED
Facebook is becoming gradually an important social network site among people’s life, with rapidly growing users globally, majority being youth of the society. This study was undertaken to explore Facebook addiction among youth. A survey method was conducted at three universities and three workplace to find out the Facebook addiction level amongst students and job-holders. Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS), a self-report measure, was administered to 184 participants recruited from different universities and workplaces. BFAS comprised of 18 items covering 6 core dimensions of addiction: salience, tolerance, mood modification, withdrawal, and relapse. The findings of this study were that every 3rd person was found to be an extreme user of Facebook or Facebook addict. Moreover Facebook was found to affect mood of the participants who become unable to remember their individual private issues and are vulnerable to anxiety, guilt, depression and restlessness. Students were more Facebook addict than job-holders. Also they had more conflicts (Facebook creates clashes in relations, job, studies, hobbies and leisure activities) than jobholders as they latter experience practical life busy in their job and family. Males reported significantly more Facebook addiction than females among students although among job-holders, both the sexes were equally involved in the use of Facebook.

(UMT.Lahore, 2015) Saliha Farooq
The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between obesity, depression and screen time. The objective of the study was to see if time spent using computer, cell phone or watching TV, for example, is associated with obesity. Moreover, the extent to which depression is linked to screen time and obesity was examined. This is a correlational research. A sample of 112 undergraduates was provided with questionnaires. Weight and height were measured, and Body Mass Index was calculated. Center of Epidemiologic Depression Scale –Revised (CESD-R) was used to measure depression. The obesity was related to depression and no relation was seen between depression and screen time and screen time and obesity. Independent sample t-test showed the difference between BMI in males (M=12.60, SD=8.65), in females (M=10.74, SD=5.46); t (110) = -1.390, p=.000. In Screen time, males (M=51.10, SD=32.11) report more than females (M=36.07, SD=26.81); t (110) = -2.683, p=.098 while in depression, there is no significant difference between female (M=20.53, SD=17.25) and males (M=21.28, SD=15.44); t (110) = -.236, p=.442.There is no significant relation between depression and screen time r (110) = .044, p=.645. Significant difference is seen between depression and BMI (r (110) = .205, p= .030) while no difference has been seen between screen time and BMI (r (110) = .151, p =.113). Our results shows that BMI predict depression (β=.205, t (111) =5.13, p<.001) and explain 3.4% of the variance. The correlation was .504 with the significance value of .000. The study exposes the factors that lead to obesity and depression. Depression was seen to be caused by high level of obesity and sedentary behavior. The high level of sedentary behavior was directly related to chances of rising obesity.

(UMT.Lahore, 2015) RABIA AHMAD
The purpose of this study to examine the experience of mother care givers, the problems they are facing and their health and the coping strategies. The purpose of the study is to investigate the perceptions of mother caregivers who are living with children suffering with psychological problems. Using qualitative research methodology, five participants were selected (convenient sampling) for semi-structured interviews. All the participants were mothers taking care of their psychologically disturbed children. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and a qualitative content analysis was conducted. Analysis was conducted by forming codes, and emerging categories and themes that provided an interpretation of the challenges as perceived and as experienced by the mother caregivers. Mothers experienced psychological and emotional distress, social and economic challenges, and health issues. Most caregivers were women. Young mothers were more active. More social support from family corresponds less depressive symptoms among caregivers. Caregivers with no moral support had symptoms of isolations, fears and depression. Increase of economic burden made more depressive symptoms and helplessness.
Relationship between students’ motivation
(UMT.Lahore, 2015) YASEMIN SEKER
The study explored relationship between students’ motivation, parents’ education and their academic performance. It were hypothesized that there will be positive correlation among variables of this study; student motivation, parents’ educational level and student’s academic achievement. It was intended that student with higher intrinsic motivation will outscore those with higher extrinsic motivation in academic achievement. Students whose parents are educated will also be more motivated and will have greater academic achievement, than the wards of less educated, parent. A selected set of 14 items from MSLQ questionnaire were used in this study. First 4 questions are related to intrinsic goal orientation. Second 4 questions were from extrinsic goal orientation concerns and another 6 items were related to value component. Previous researches indicate that these scales can be successfully used for student population in predicting their learning performance. The study was carried out on the sample of 94 high school students of 8 to 9 class from Lahore Pak-Turk School. Students’ age ranged between 14 to 15 years. According to the results of this study there was significant positive relationship between students’ motivation, their academic performance and their parents’ education level. The intrinsically motivated students had higher academic achievement, than those who were weak in intrinsic motivation. Similarly, having stronger intrinsic motivation, they outscored in academic achievement, those who were strong an influence extrinsic motivation. Finally mother’s educational level had a positive and significant on the academic achievement of the student. Father’s education did not have such influence. The research establishes the positive role of intrinsic motivation & mothers education influencing students’ academic achievement.
Internalization of patriarchal ideas and its psychological impact on women
(UMT.Lahore, 2015) ZAINAB IKRAM
The primary objective of this study is to explore the factors associated with endorsement of patriarchal beliefs. We investigated if education negatively impacts patriarchal beliefs system in men and women. Furthermore, the influence of the internalization and acceptance of patriarchal ideology on women’s self-esteem was studied. Self-report data was provided by two hundred participants recruited from University of Management and Technology, including students, teachers and staff-workers (aged >18), years of formal education, patriarchal beliefs, and self-esteem using Urdu translations of these psychometrically valid instruments: Self-Esteem scale (Rosenberg1965) and the Patriarchal Beliefs scale (Emery et al., 2013). As a result, there was a significant negative correlation between the level of education and patriarchal ideology in both men and women (r = .038, p< .05). Moreover, there is a negative significant correlation between the patriarchal beliefs and self-esteem in women (r = .039, p< .05). Findings show that education protects against the maintenance of patriarchal ideology. In women, the endorsement of patriarchal beliefs is associated with a lower self-esteem and hence could be a risk factor for psychological distress in vulnerable population. Instilling feminist ideology may promote self-esteem and mental health in Pakistani women.
Suicidality across adolescence
(UMT.Lahore, 2015) Syeda Fatima Farooq
The study explores the tendency of suicidal ideation and behavior in adolescents. It also explains the factors that impacts suicidality. This research has been done to explore the contribution of the psychosocial factors specially loneliness in suicidal ideation, its differential effects among adolescents and also aim to discover the correlation between loneliness and social isolation and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, we aim to evaluate the intensity in suicidal behavior with respect to gender differences. This is a cross-sectional study. The research has been conducted by distributing questionnaires to a sample of 250 students aged 14 to 25. Suicidality was measured by the Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire Revised (Osman, et al. 2001) while to measure feeling of loneliness; we used revised UCLA loneliness scale (Russell, Peplau, & Ferguson, 1980). An independent sample t-test was conducted to explore gender differences. To investigate correlation between age and loneliness with suicidality, we conducted regression analyses. Age is not significantly associated with suicidality, r(229) = -.033, p=.623. Results of the correlation analysis showed that loneliness is significantly and positively correlated with suicidal ideation and behavior, r(229) =.240, p <.001. Loneliness significantly predicted suicidality β =.240, t (230) =3.73, p<.001, and explained 5.8% of the variance. The results of this study show that suicidal ideation is significantly correlated with loneliness. Furthermore, there is insignificant gender difference. Age is not significantly associated with suicidality. As an intervention strategy, teaching social skills and optimism are most effective. Key words:
Attitude towards gender role stereotype among adolescence __________________________________________________________________
(UMT.Lahore, 2015) NOVAIRA SAJJAD MUGHAL
Gender stereotype are present in every culture both positive and negative. People often suffer from and get affected by the barriers caused by the gender stereotypes in their daily life. Adolescence is a stage where the individual is more vulnerable to get affected by these stereotypes. This research covers the views of adolescents, whether they approve or denounce the gender stereotypes set by the society. For this purpose, questionnaires with gender stereotypical statements were constructed and aimed at participants of ages 10-15 years i.e. early and middle adolescents, from classes of 6-8 and the non-school individuals. About 113 school students participated, with 30 who either dropped out of school or never attended a school. The purpose of the research was to find out the thought process of adolescents about the gender role typecast prevailing in the society. The research studied which gender is more likely to follow these genders stereotypes. Does the intensity of gender stereotypical thinking decreases if the individual has sibling(s) of the opposite sex? Is there an inverse relation between gender stereotypical thinking and years of education? What factor does age play in the intensity of gender stereotypical thinking? Is the thinking of gender stereotype more in non-school individuals than the school individuals? Results indicated that boys are more stereotypical than girls and to find that, differentiation in the responses of both gender was compared. Two factors mainly were selected to find the effect on the gender stereotypical thinking Sibling and Education. The data analysis suggests the effect of opposite sex sibling on the gender stereotypical role was nil. On the other hand the hypothesis that non-schooled adolescence are more stereotypical , results suggest opposite of it , indicating that school student are more stereotypical than non-schooled. In educational institute the gender stereotypical thinking was near to constant from 7-8 and had little difference from class 6.

(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Anum Atiq
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between lucid dreaming, psychosis proneness, nightmare and suppression. It was hypothesized that attitude towards dream and dream recall will have a relationship with lucid dream and psychosis proneness, dream lucidity as a predictor of psychosis proneness, suppression and nightmare as mediator and moderator in between the prediction respectively, and the difference by gender and institute among variables. Survey method was used for data collection, where total sample were of (N=220) with Men (n=96) and Women (n=124) of the age range of 18-26. The Inventory of Personality Organization (Lenzenweger, Clarkin, Kernberg & Foelsch, 2001), The Lucid and Consciousness Scale (Voss, et al, 2013), The Mannheim Dream Questionnaire (Schredl, Berres, Klingauf, Schellhaas & Göritz, 2014) and Self-Regulation Withholding Negative Emotion (Kim, Deci & Zuckerman, 2002) were used to access psychosis proneness, lucid dream, nightmare and suppression respectively. Result of Pearson Correlation revealed that attitude towards dream and dream recall is associated with dream lucidity and psychosis proneness. Linear regression revealed that lucid dreaming is a positive and significant predictor of psychosis proneness. Nightmare distress as moderator negatively and significantly influences psychosis while suppression has no influence on psychosis proneness. Similarly, t-test result significantly reported that men were high on dream lucidity and psychosis proneness then women. Present study proves in relevant to our culture that obsession for control of dreams can lead to unhealthy psychological health. Yet lucid dream can be used as a treatment for nightmare distress and our cultural, men dominant nature makes them high among lucid dreaming and psychosis proneness. Further it is guided to explore more causal factors of lucidity predicting psychosis.

(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Wardah Rana
Abstract The objective of this research was to identify the prevalence of sleep disorders in university students. After reviewing the literature, it was determined that most of the students populations are suffering from sleep disturbances and sleep problems. To identify those problems and associated factors, a sample of 311 university students were selected from 6 different universities of Lahore, using the stratified sampling technique. The sample consisted of 152 men and 159 women from BS/MSC and MS/MPhil level. The participants were assessed on Sleep 50 questionnaire (Spoormaker, 2005) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) (Lovibond, 1995) along with few demographic questions. Findings of the study revealed the positive correlation of depression, anxiety and stress with sleep disorders but negative correlation with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to identify the group differences on the basis of gender, addiction, type of the cell phone and job status. The results show women, feature phone users and students involved in addiction and part time jobs are more inclined towards sleep disorders.
Nightmare distress and emotion regulation
(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Rida Mahwish Siddiqui
Emotion regulation has built several trends on emotional development. Emotion and their consequences are the main focus of researchers. The current study hypothesized that nightmare distress is correlated with emotion regulation and the individuals having more nightmares will have higher emotion dysregulation. Further, it was also hypothesized that experience of nightmare distress will be more in women as compare to men. Self-report data was provide by two hundred participants recruited from University of Management and Technology including students. The relation between nightmare distress and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression) was explored. Emotion regulation was assessed by administering Emotion Regulation Questionnaire developed by Gross and John (2003), Nightmare Experience Questionnaire designed by You Xu (2014), and frequency of nightmares, and emotional intensity was assessed on using a protocol made by Zadra (2006). Correlation Analysis reveals that age and cognitive reappraisal was non-significant. Moreover, individuals who expresses more dysregulated emotions will manifest more in nightmares and vice versa. While the experience of nightmare is same for both men and women. The study concludes that cognitive reappraisal is a predictor of nightmare distress. On the other hand, women use expressive suppression as way to regulate their emotions as compared to men, while there is no difference in the usage of cognitive reappraisal. Although this research uses university scaled sample, future research needs to collect more data on a higher scale to gather accurate statistics which can be more generalizable by using indigenous scale.
The self in the selfie
(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Palwasha Nazar
Given the abrupt increase in self-photography and its negative conceptualizations, an empirical investigation of the psychological mechanisms behind selfie-taking and its posting is warranted. The primary objective of this study is to explore the psychopathological underpinnings of selfie-taking and posting. Specifically, we investigated if histrionic and narcissistic tendencies predict excessive selfie-taking and posting. Young adults (n=405) from different universities and colleges of Lahore and Sargodha were conveniently recruited while few participants contributed online. To assess the personality pathology of the participants following self-report measures were administered: Brief Histrionic Personality Sale (Ferguson & Negy, 2014), Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16 (Ames, Rose, & Anderson, 2006) , Self –Objectification Scale (Noll & Fredrickson, 1998) along with open-ended questions to evaluate the average frequency of selfie taking and posting. The small positive correlation between narcissistic features and selfie-posting approached significance r (399) =.097, p=.053. The Pearson correlation analysis followed by the regression, showed that there is significant positive correlation, r (399) =.193, p<.01 between selfie posting and histrionic personality traits and predicted selfie posting on social networking sites β=.193, t (198) =3.93, p<.001 with explained 3.8% of variance in men. A negatively significant correlation was found between selfie taking and self-objectification traits r= -.114, p<.05, but not with the selfie-posting. The qualitative analysis explored the perception about purpose of selfie taking as a way to get other’s attention and appreciation by posting them on social media and somehow depicts self-admiration. Besides, the purpose of selfie posting is the approach of self-enhancement and self-promotion on social networking sites and hence, might be associated with narcissistic and histrionic tendencies.

(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Sara Imtiaz
This study was based on survey research. It consists of 100 participants (50 women, 50 men) selected from UMT university by convenient sampling. These participants were attending undergraduate programs and their age ranged was between 19-26. Data was collected through questionnaires. Three questionnaires, Peer Pressure Inventory (Brown, Clasen, & Eicher, 1986; Clasen & Brown, 1985), Body Esteem Scale (Fronzoi & Sheilds, 1984) and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) were used in this research. The objectives of the study were to know the relationship between peer pressure, body-esteem, self-esteem as well as GPA and also to discover gender difference between peer pressure, self-esteem and body-esteem. The main objective was to find impact of peer pressure on body-esteem, self-esteem and GPA. Results revealed that women scored less on body-esteem and self-esteem than men as hypothesized. Secondly, degree of peer pressure was not significantly different on men and women. The first hypothesis showed a positive and significant correlation between body-esteem and self-esteem. Peer pressure was major variables of the study. However, hypothesis that students who are under high peer pressure would have low self-esteem, body-esteem and GPA could not be supported because the scale we used to measure peer pressure is more related to delinquent population. The results of the research were discussed and suggestions for further research were also mentioned. The implications of the study were discussed at end of research report. Key words:

(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Havaida Munir
Diversity of communication sources such as electronic media play significant role in reducing the distance and make world as a global village. There are many benefits of electronic media but it also carries some negative impact on human behavior. The purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of media content on victimization and violent behavior in offenders. This study is an effort to explore the relationship of media content with victimization and violent behavior in offenders. Effect of media content is hypothesized to correlate with victimization and violent behavior in offenders and a predictor of victimization and violent behavior. Further victimization is likely to be predictor of violent behavior and that media content is likely to differently correlate with victimization and violent behavior in offenders from urban and rural areas. Sample of this study consists of 112 male offenders selected through simple random sampling technique. The participants were recruited from district jail Gujrat. Violent History Questionnaire developed by McGrowan (2005) is adapted and translated to assess violent behavior in offenders. Victimization Scale developed by Orpinas (1993) is adapted and translated to assess victimization in offenders. In present study obtained data is statistically analyzed by Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis, Regression Analysis and Independent Sample t-test. Findings of present study reveal that those who watch more romantic comedy and violent content are more prone to be victimized by their peers. Victimization is related with violent behavior. For the sample of offenders from urban areas, this study reveals that victimization is related to violent behavior. In present study age of offender is seen negatively correlated with victimization. Result of current study shows that offenders who watch more romantic comedy content are more prone to be victimized, that may lead the offenders to behave violently. Therefore in current situation media content leave a negative impact on offenders by developing victimization and violent behavior which affect the overall wellbeing of offenders. In increasing ratio of crime in Pakistan, findings of current study can help to make strategies to bring stability in society. However, it is very important to grab attention of parents and concerned responsible authority such as PEMRA in Pakistan to take a step forward and take preventive measures and to censor the damaging and destructive content of media to ensure the welfare of society.

It was found that there is no significant relationship between relational aggression and neuroticism. Moreover, Findings reveal the significant difference between males and females (p<.004) as men (M= 52.28, SD= 13.83) are more involved in relational aggression as compared to women (M= 48.51, SD= 15.53). Limitations and implications were also mentioned in the study. Future suggestions were also given to modify the current study with more generalized sample from the various other universities for more generalized findings.
Gender difference on psychological distress among undergraduate students
(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Rida Amjad; Warda Afzal; Ahar Nadeem
The present study investigated the psychological distress among undergraduates. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be gender differences in depression, stress and anxiety among undergraduate students. Depression, stress and anxiety are likely to differ in undergraduate students. Depression, Anxiety Stress Scale DASS (Clark and Watson, 1991) was used in this study. Between subject design the convenient sample of 200 student including 90 men and 110 women students with the age range of 18-27 years (M= 20.37, SD= 1.64) was taken from private universities of Lahore: Forman Christian College, University of Central Punjab, Fatima Memorial Hospital, Government College University. The result of t-test revealed that that there was non- significant gender difference in depression, stress and anxiety. Furthermore repeated measure ANOVA revealed that there was significant difference between depression, stress and anxiety among students was found. The importance of this study lies in hypothesizing that there is a non-significant result between both genders because of similar treatment and condition in the society.
