The objective of the study was to study an ever increasing strength of working students on university campuses in pursuit of education. We formulated three Hypotheses for our research project; 1 Working Students are more self-motivated as compared to Non-Working Students. 2, Time Management Self-Assessment is more likely to poor in Non-Working Students as compared to Working Students. 3, Personality Traits of Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience is stronger among Working and Non-Working Students. The sample size of our study consisted of 140 participants; 70 working and 70 non working students who were currently enrolled in 7th or 8th semesters in the Private Universities; UMT, BNU & UCP. The participants were selected by Purposive sampling on the basis of their availability and consent to participate in the study. Participants were given questionnaires which included Demographic questions, scales of Personality Traits, Time Management Self Assessment and Motivation Inventory. Relevant measures were used to tap these variables after taking permission from the authors. We used Independent Sample T test for our research and correlation regression. Analysis of results revealed that working students had significantly higher degree of motivation than their counterparts. They were also higher on time management than non-working students; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Bothe the groups were compared on personality traits as well but they were found to be scoring more or less the same and so no difference was observed in the result of personality attributes of both groups (working and non-working students). To sum up, self-motivation defined the two groups clearly as distinct from each other clearly and convincingly. The findings are discussed along with implications for students, educators and college administrators.Item Health beliefs(UMT.Lahore, 2018) Fatima Hassan; Nimra ZafarThe present study investigated the relationship between health beliefs, social support, and treatment adherence in people diagnosed with tuberculosis. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between health beliefs, social support, and treatment adherence in people with TB. It was hypothesized that social support would moderate the relationship between health beliefs and treatment adherence. Non-probability purposive sample of 100 TB patients including 41 women and 59 men with age range of 18-55 years (M=34.7, SD=13.5) was drawn from Jinnah Hospital and Gulab Devi hospital Lahore. Urdu versions of Venereal Diseases Health Belief Model Scale (Simon, Family Das, 1984), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet & Farley, 1988) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (Morisky, Green, & Levine, 1986) were used. A co relational research design was employed. The results showed that aspects of health beliefs i.e. perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived self-efficacy were significantly positively, while perceived barriers were significantly negatively correlated with treatment adherence. The results further revealed that social support and its subscales were significantly positively correlated with treatment adherence. Multiple linear regression showed that perceived barriers were significant negative predictor while, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived social support were significant positive predictors of treatment adherence. Social support moderator was found to be significant between health beliefs and treatment adherence. The importance of this study lies in hypothesizing a relationship of health beliefs with treatment adherence and seeing the role of social support as a moderator to explore treatment adherence in TB patients.Item Psychosocial factors behind impostor phenomenon in undergraduate women students(UMT.Lahore, 2018) Naila DilawarImpostor phenomenon is not a pathological disease but it interferes with the psychological well-beings of an individual because individuals with impostor syndrome are unable to internalize their success and have doubts on their accomplishments. The Present research was aimed to explore the psychosocial factors behind impostor phenomenon in undergraduate women students. The sample of ten undergraduate higher achiever women students was taken from private university of Lahore with the age range of 20 to 25 years. Purposive sampling was used to locate participants and data was gathered through semi structured interview which was further analyzed by using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Sixteen major themes emerged that were about the psychosocial factors about impostor phenomenon. The result assisted that lack of family support, absence of motivation, lack of appreciation and extreme expectations by others are major reasons in continuing the impostor syndrome and it also have negative effects like lower self-esteem, depression, fear of failure, having doubts regarding success. Some women credit to external factors for success but mostly females who had impostor syndrome gave credit of their success to their struggle and parents rather than their only luck. Hence, over appreciation by others and extreme reaction of people on every achievement of participant causes psychological pain thus parents should motivate and appreciate their children so that they can perform confidently without developing any psychological issues like anxiety, depression, stress etc.Item Perception of university students about sexual harassment at educational institutions(UMT.Lahore, 2018) Mashaam WasifThis research explores the perception of university students about sexual harassment at educational institutions, promoting factors, and recommendations to eliminate sexual harassment.
