Item Goal Orientation, Test Anxiety and Aggression in Medical and Non-Medical Students(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2020) Kainat Fatima; CIIT/SP17-BPY-023/LHR; Dr. Farzana AshrafThe focus of the current study was to determine the goal orientation, test anxiety and aggression in medical and non-medical students. In this current research it was hypothesized that i) There is likely to be a correlation in goal orientation, test anxiety, and aggression. ii) Goal orientation, test anxiety, and aggression likely to vary in medical and non-medical students. iii) Demographic characteristics likely relate to goal orientation, test anxiety, and aggression in medical and non-medical students. The current study sample consisted of 300 medicals (n=202) and non-medical (n=99) students. The participant's ages range from 18 to 25 years (M=21.09, SD=1.93). These participants were selected through a convenient random sampling technique from medical college/university and non-medical college/university equally distributed in gender (Male=140) and (Female=160). Goal orientation scale (Was, 2006): Test Anxiety Questionnaire (Nist & Diehl,1990), The Aggression Scale (Orpinas & Frankowski 2001). For hypothesis testing, SPSS was applied to calculate the Independent Sample t-test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analyses. The results suggest that goal orientation has negative significant correlation with aggression and has positive significant correlation with test anxiety. The Independent sample t-test shows that aggression is significantly high in non-medical students while, goal orientation is more in medical students. Linear regression analysis revealed that aggression, marks and educations are the predictor of goal orientation, however aggression was found to be stronger predictor of goal orientation. This study can contribute in acknowledging the comparison between medical and non-medical students using present variables and more variables.Item Efficacy of the Integrated Model of Reminiscence, Acceptance and Commitment, and Transcendental Therapies in Institutionalized Older Adults(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Mahnoor; CIIT/FA23-RCP-008/LHR; Dr. Maryam Amjad; LHR TP 9717Geriatric population carries several physical as well as emotional problems that require special attention by not only their own families but also for many professionals around. This study investigated the effectiveness of Reminiscence Therapy (RT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Transcendental Therapy (TT) on the psychological well-being of the institutionalized geriatric population. Twenty older adults institutionalized in old-age homes were recruited through convenience sampling from an old-age home in Lahore (M=10; 10=F). The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS- 21; Aslam & Kamal, 2017) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS; Tennant et al., 2007) were administered for pre- and post-assessment. The intervention phase consisted of 8 group sessions, along with four individual sessions. The results revealed significant differences in depression, stress, anxiety, and mental well-being between pre- and post-assessment for the participants. This study highlights the significant implications of providing specialized psychological care in the region's increasingly established old care homes, where individualistic culture is being replaced with the collectivistic culture.
