The present study was aimed to examine the role of personality types on the prediction of gratitude among adults. The gender differences in gratitude were also examined. Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form (GQ - 6) (McCullough, Emmons & Tsang, 2002) and Big Five personality inventory (John & Srivastava, 2005) were used for data collection for a sample of adults (N = 200). Independent t-test, Pearson Correlation, and multiple regression were computed for data analysis. Results indicated that extraversion has a significant positive correlation with agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and gratitude and a significant negative correlation with neuroticism. Results also showed that openness has a significant correlation with conscientiousness and gratitude and a significant negative correlation with neuroticism. Also, conscientiousness has a significant correlation with gratitude and a non-significant negative correlation with neuroticism. Neuroticism has a significant negative correlation with gratitude. Multiple regression analysis was computed with personality types as predictor variables and gratitude as an outcome variable. Findings also indicated that extroversion, agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness have a significant positive effect on gratitude, while neuroticism has a significant negative effect on gratitude. Therefore, individuals who are social, outgoing open, and helping they inclined to show more gratitude.

The present study investigated the relationship between adults' wisdom, aggression, narcissism, and self-esteem. A purposive sample (N = 300) of adults selected, both male and female, were included in the sample. Narcissism was measured through Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) developed by Robert Raksin and Calvin. Wisdom is measured through Three Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) developed by Monika Ardelt 2003. Aggression is measured through Buss and Perry Aggression Scale (BPAQ) developed by Buss and Perry. Self-esteem is measured through Rosen Berg Self-esteem Scale (RBSES) developed by Rosenberg. Descriptive statistics, alpha reliability, Pearson correlation, and t-test were computed to test the hypothesis. Pearson correlation showed a significant correlation between narcissism and self-esteem, the negative correlation of wisdom with aggression, and low self-esteem related to aggression but insignificantly, also a significant difference between wisdom on gender. This study helps mental health practitioners determine adults' overall psychological well-being.

The current study's goal was to investigate the connection between university students' stress levels and their academic achievement. Using a basic random sample procedure, a sample size of 200 people was drawn from the University of Haripur. Data from 100 male and 100 female university students were included in the sample. Student Stress Inventory (SSI), a tool used to gauge stress among college students, was utilized to gather data. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of each student served as a measure of their academic success. The study's results show a strong correlation between stress and university student’s academic performance, and stress is negatively connected with academic performance among university students. In comparison to male pupils, female students performed better on the stress test. Academic success is inversely connected with stress. Because the current study was restricted to the university of Haripur and the sample size was also small, it was recommended that this study be conducted in the future with a more diverse population and a larger sample size. The results of the current study will contribute to a better understanding of how stress affects university students' academic performance.

Ensuing purposive sampling, two hundred medical students, both males and females, without any limitation of age, were approached at medical colleges of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The parental authority questionnaire, Emotional intelligence scale and Big five personality inventory were used for data gathering. Pearson correlation analysis was computed to get association amid study variables. Linear regression analysis depicted that authoritarian parenting style has a significant negative effect on emotional intelligence (β=.50, p<.001), extraversion (β= -.57, p<.001), agreeableness (β= -.53, p<.001) and conscientiousness. Results also depicted that authoritative parenting style has a significant positive effect on emotional intelligence (β= .48, p<.001), extraversion (β= .40, p<.001), agreeableness (β= .45, p<.001), and on conscientiousness (β= .45, p<.001). Whereas authoritarian parenting style has a significant positive impact on neuroticism (β= .47, p<.001) and authoritative parenting has a significant negative effect on neuroticism (β= -.52, p<.001). Parenting style has been proven to be a significant contributor to enhancing emotional intelligence and promoting positive personality traits. The authoritative parenting style promotes emotional intelligence, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Authoritarian parenting style is highly responsible for the rise in neuroticism and decreased emotional intelligence.
