Adair My recent research has focused on the “Internationalization of Psychological Research” (Adair, Coêlho, & Luna, 2002; Adair, 2004). 1 A substantial data collection across three decades has revealed that the proportion of articles authored by psychologists from ROW (rest of the world) countries compared to those authored by US psychologists is rapidly increasing, dramatically in this decade to the point where the majority of articles over the recent three years in one APA journal, for example, is now by authors from outside the U.S. -

It is non-scientific technique of self-observation which leads to progressive improved insight and positive life satisfaction attributes, as also, inculcations of family, friends, school, living environment and self life-satisfaction. The goal of this research was to study the effectiveness of Vipassana meditation on life satisfaction. In this study 120 student participants (experimental and control) were selected. The experimental group was given Ten Days (ten hours per day and total hours taken was three hundred hours) Vipassana meditation course. After meditation course the Satisfaction with life scale was administered to experimental and control group immediately. The effect of intervention on experimental group was studied by comparing with control group in pre-post test phases. For analysis of data the GLM- Repeated measures of ANOVA was used. Findings indicate that Vipassana meditation had positive effect on the level of life satisfaction. Keywords: Vipassana Meditation, Life Satisfaction Vipassana is one of the India's ancient meditation technique also called as Mindfulness meditation. Long lost to humanity, it was rediscovered by Gautama Buddha more than 2,500 years ago (Andresen, 2000). Vipassana means to see things as they really are. It is a procedure of self-observation.

For this exceptionally wide aim, he developed an exceptionally deep and comprehensive frame for understanding human nature. His concepts, as discussed in this paper, must be understood on their own terms, which are often different from meanings attributed in the conventional language of Western psychology. -

Paranjpe (Corresponding author) Email: [email protected] Girishwar Misra Email: [email protected] Without Abstract Indian cultural and intellectual tradition is a living tradition; it has continued in an unbroken form from hoary antiquity to the present. Psychological phenomena were an integral part of systematic inquiry and investigation in numerous schools of thought in this tradition. 1 The vitality of this tradition was reduced during British rule from 1857 till independence in 1947 as its world view and sciences were denigrated in an Anglicized educational system. During the British rule, Western psychology was introduced in the Indian subcontinent, where it took roots and continues to flourish. Traditional approaches, which were pushed to the back seat for long, are currently getting attention and being introduced to the world. Since the cultural context in which these approaches developed is distinct from the European background of modern psychology, it is necessary to first explain certain substantive and stylistically distinctive features of Indian approaches to psychology. The Historical and Cultural Context of Traditional Indian Psychological Thought Foundations of psychological thinking in India were laid in the ancient texts called the Veda s, the first of which was composed about two millennia BCE. -
A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism
Harm in Harmony: A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism Shi Liu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Shi Liu All Rights Reserved Abstract Harm in Harmony: A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism Shi Liu Decades of research have described East Asian cultures as collectivistic, often characterized by ingroup relationships that are harmonious and cooperative. I propose an alternative account of East Asian Collectivism—the Harm-in-Harmony Theory. Specifically, I propose that East Asian culture can be better understood as a tension between high levels of cooperation and competition within groups. The co-existence of cooperation and competition drives competition covert. To cope with covert competition, people in East Asia develop a heightened threat-detection system—ingroup vigilance—a cognitive tendency to perceive ingroup members as hostile and threatening. The Harm-in-Harmony theory provides an alternative account for a number of cross-cultural differences (i.e., East Asians being more responsive and attentive to others) that have previously been explained through harmonious interdependence. This work contributes to a more balanced view of collectivism, revealing its interpersonal tensions in the forms of covert competition and ingroup vigilance.

Comprehensive Analysis of Personality- an Ayurvedic Perspective Dr Bindu Menon K1*
The International Journal of Indian Psychology ISSN 2348-5396 (e) | ISSN: 2349-3429 (p) Volume 3, Issue 3, No. 6, DIP: 18.01.108/20160303 ISBN: 978-1-365-11998-9 http://www.ijip.in | April - June, 2016 Comprehensive Analysis of Personality- An Ayurvedic Perspective Dr Bindu Menon K1* ABSTRACT Study of Personality has been a fascinating experience for Psychologists and researchers worldwide. Although Personality has been studied in a number of ways, the focus to unveil the complexities of human mind and behaviour with a single theory persists. Some theories explain the basic origins and makeup of personality, whereas others focuses on specific issues like influence of gene on Personality and how people differ in their behaviour according to varying situations in life. As the Western psychological concepts and methods are not found very relevant with respect to different cultures; the need for developing indigenous Psychological assessment is recognised and the concept of Prakriti from Ayurveda-the Indian medical wisdom is emphasised here. Ayurveda- the Science of Life has unique method of classifying human population based on individual constitution called Prakriti. This classification indicates constitution-physiological strength, weaknesses, mental nature and susceptibility to diseases. Charaka Samhitha, Ayurvedic classical text phrases how hereditary factors, intrauterine environment, post natal factors and socio cultural components influences Prakriti .This paper focuses on analysing studies of Personality made in the field of Psychology -
