It was based on the idea that there are only six steps between any two people. It is called the small world issue because of how connected people are thought to be, Facebook began as an online community for Harvard University students in 2004 and has since grown to be the most widely used SNS on the globe but it is not only one most used site there are many more. In 2016 globally 2.34 billion people used social networks. 22.9% of people worldwide accessed Facebook in that year according to available data. In 2015, the typical social media user in the USA and the UK spent 1.7 hours daily on the platform while users in the Philippines used it for an average of 3.7 hours daily. Because social media lets people talk to each other no matter where they are or what time it is, it seems that many people enjoy using it in their spare time. Communication and connection in the current world are mostly facilitated by SNSs and related applications. Social networking sites (SNS) allow users to create public profiles, share content with friends, and socialize with others online. Social networking apps and websites such as Twitter, WhatsApp, Snap chat and Instagram have made it simple for individuals particularly the younger generation. The only reason any of this is conceivable is that access to the internet has grown both widespread and inexpensive.The current era is heavily mediated by technology, including the basic human need to engage in social interaction; the new norm is to be online (Kuss& Griffiths, 2017).Item Stress, Cognitive Distortions, and Emotional Dysregulation among Psychologists(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Aqsa Iftikhar; SP20-BPY-015; Ms. Bareera Saeed; LHR TP 8882This quantitative study aimed to assess the relationship between stress, cognitive distortion, and emotional dysregulation among psychologists. A convenient sampling method was employed to collect data from 200 participants aged between 25 and 50 years (M=36.38, SD=4.70). Individuals filled out self-report forms, which included a Demographic Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Cognitive Distortion Scale, and Emotional Dysregulation Scale. The research included psychologists from different clinical settings, and formal consents were diligently obtained. Results revealed significant correlations between self-criticism, predictive thinking, and emotional dysregulation. Perceived stress demonstrated a positive association with emotional dysregulation, emphasizing its notable impact. Moreover, stress-creating thinking contributed to perceived stress. The regression analysis highlighted age as a minimal predictor, while perceived stress and various cognitive distortions collectively explained 32% of the variance in emotional dysregulation. Noteworthy predictors included stress-creating thinking, self-blame/self-criticism, and rigid thinking as negative predictors, while predictive thinking emerged as a positive predictor of emotional dysregulation. The study suggests that stress and cognitive distortion, especially predictive thinking, contribute to emotional dysregulation among psychologists. Implications underscore the significance of organizational policies, professional development programs, and refined psychology curricula to address psychologists' well-being, subsequently impacting client outcomes. Overall, these findings contribute to the understanding of the factors influencing emotional well-being in the field of psychology.Item Mindfulness, Emotional intelligence and Academic adjustment in college students(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Ayesha Azam; Sp20-BPY-003; Ms. Zaeema Farooq; LHR TP 8892The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between mindfulness, emotional intelligence and academic adjustment in college students.

In the crowded city of everyday existence, work engagement unfurls its roots in the soil of one’s daily tasks, transforming the mundane into a symphony of purpose. Imagine a painter, fully immersed in the strokes of a canvas, tapping into what Freud might call the unconscious reservoir of creativity (Freud, 1923). This parallel holds true in the realm of work engagement, where each task becomes a stroke on the canvas of professional journey. As the day progresses, engagement extends beyond the individual, weaving a narrative that resonates throughout organizational corridors. Just as a skilled conductor orchestrates a masterpiece, dedicated people synchronize their efforts to create a harmonious melody in the workplace. As Freud conceptualized the intricate interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind, his ideas resonate with the notion that engagement is not merely a surface-level phenomenon but reaches into the depths of our psychological architecture (Freud, 1923).Item Workplace Bulling, Self-coping and Psychological Wellbeing in call centre agents(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Shumesa Rauf; Sp20-BPY-31; Ms. Bareera Saeed; LHR TP 8879The current study examined the relationship among workplace bullying, self-coping, and psychological well being among call centre agents using a correlational research design.
