The study collected data from 109 Indian seafarers through Google Forms from March 2023 to April 2023. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to summarize the data based on selected demographic factors. The results showed that Indian seafarers suffered from mild depression (Mean =13.54) Seafarers also suffer from moderate levels of anxiety (Mean= 10.81). The levels of stress are found to be of normal level (Mean=13.28). The average scores for the components of burnout, namely Disengagement, and Exhaustion, among seafarers are 20.03 (SD= 3.673) and 20.43 (SD= 4.051) respectively. These findings suggest that seafarers exhibit moderate levels of burnout. Also, the correlational analysis shows a positive moderate correlation between total scores of depression, anxiety, stress, and components of Burnout with a value of 0.392 at a 1 % level of significance. The study highlights the need for mental health interventions and support services for seafarers to prevent and manage mental health issues in this population.

Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing social self-efficacy and alexithymia among adolescents, with a focus on gender, educational level, and sibling composition. A sample of 234 adolescents was analysed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analyses. The results indicate no significant gender differences in social self-efficacy and alexithymia. However, significant differences were observed across educational levels, with college students exhibiting higher social self-efficacy and lower alexithymia compared to younger students. Additionally, adolescents with siblings demonstrated higher social self-efficacy and lower alexithymia than only children. The study also found significant negative correlations between social self-efficacy and the subscales of alexithymia (Difficulty Identifying Feelings, Difficulty Describing Feelings, and Externally-Oriented Thinking), suggesting that higher social self-efficacy is associated with better emotional awareness and expression. These findings highlight the importance of tailored interventions that address both social and emotional skills, particularly for younger adolescents and only children.
