Item BURNOUT, PERFECTIONISM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF PAKISTAN(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) RUMAN JAMIL; FA19-BPY-012; DR. MUNEEBA SHAKIL; LHR TP 8371The current study was carried out to determine the association between burnout, perfectionism and psychological distress in university students of Pakistan. It was hypothesized that there will be a statistically significant predictive association between burnout, perfectionism and psychological distress, where perfectionism will act as a predictor between burnout and psychological distress. A sample of 500 participants aged 19-25 (Mean age = 22.06) was selected through simple random sampling technique from different government and private universities of Lahore. Participants responded to demographic information sheet, Perfectionism Scale, Depression, Stress and Anxiety Scale (DASS-21) and Burnout Scale. Analysis revealed that Perfectionism, Depression, and Stress are associated with burnout in university students Furthermore, Correlation analysis suggest that perfectionism is weak positive correlated with burnout and anxiety. Depression is strong positively correlated with anxiety and stress. Anxiety is strong positively correlated with stress, and stress is weak positively correlated with burnout. The study showed that burnout leads university students towards perfectionism and burnout, perfectionism and psychological distress are associated with each other. The present research also contributes to relevant empirical information and evidence in Pakistani Literature.

MUNEEBA SHAKIL; LHR TP 8374Emojis are now often used in technology-mediated communication and are a component of individuals' everyday expressiveness. However, few scientifically sound research studies concentrate on the effects of emoji usage on people. Therefore, this study is aimed to access the motivation behind emoji usage in Pakistani adolescents and young adults. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between Pakistani adolescents and young adults. It was also hypothesized that there would be a significant gender-based difference between Pakistani adolescents and young adults. In this cross- sectional study a sample of 250 adolescents (125 boys & 125 girls) with an age range of 13 to 19 (M=16, SD=1.78) years and 250 young adults (125 men & 125 women) with an age range of 20 to 29 (M= 22, SD=1.50) years, was selected from different private and government educational institutes of Lahore, Pakistan through convenient sampling. Participants responded to the Demographic information sheet, and self-developed questionnaire on the Motivation behind emoji usage consisted of two subscales effective communication and emotional expression. Multivariate analysis of variation MANOVA revealed that there was a significant difference in emoji usage among Pakistani adolescents and young adults but no significant gender-based difference was reported. The results of the study challenge the previous assumptions about gender differences in communication preferences by suggesting that no significant gender difference occurs in motivational factors behind emoji usage in Pakistani culture.
