EMOTICONS AND THE NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION: WITH REFERENCE TO FACEBOOK
In the recent years, the use of emoticons in text-based and computer-mediated communications has gained a lot of popularity. Though emoticons (a combination of punctuation marks and letters) first began as a representation of facial expression, they have over the years been transformed to now include graphical representations of a variety of items (both static and animated). The usage of emoticons and their interpretation differ from one person to another, depending on factors such as gender, age and culture. Facebook is a platform where people across the globe communicate, share opinions and connect with each other. The researcher, thus, seeks to understand whether emoticons have the ability to infuse the text-based computer-mediated- communications on Facebook with the richness and authenticity of face-to-face interactions, and to arrive at an understanding of how these different groups use and interpret emoticons. A sample size of 139 was selected using the snowball sampling technique. The methods of primary data collection included surveys in the form of questionnaires that were distributed online. A quantitative analysis of the collected data was conducted using SPSS. The study revealed that age, gender and location do have a bearing on the patterns of usage and interpretation of emoticons. It also showed that emoticons cannot provide the text-based computer-mediated- communications on Facebook with the richness and authenticity of face-to-face interactions. -

Emotion Regulation and Psychological Well-being as Contributors Towards Mindfulness Among Under-Graduate Students
Emotion regulation is generally described as the ability of an individual not only to manage emotions effectively but also to respond effectively to the emotional experience. It has also been viewed as a crucial aspect for psychological well-being. It is a psychological state which means more than just being free from stress and not having any other psychological disorder reported by the individual. At the same time, students with higher emotion regulation and psychological well-being are expected to be more attentive and able to observe, describe and participate in the present moment, effectively, with non-judgmental awareness, which is in turn defined as mindfulness. Hence, it has been expected that participants with higher emotion regulation and psychological well-being would also report higher levels of mindfulness. Therefore, the present empirical investigation has been conducted with an objective of assessing the level of emotion regulation, psychological well-being and mindfulness among under-graduate students. Additionally, it was also expected that all the said variables would be positively correlated and emotion regulation and psychological well-being would predict mindfulness positively for under-graduate students. For this purpose, ex post facto research design was adopted, and standardized tools pertaining to emotion regulation, psychological well-being and mindfulness were administered on a sample of 104 under-graduate students. The results of correlation statistics revealed that emotional regulation (r=0.27; p<0.01) and psychological well-being (r=0.21; p<0.01) are the positive and significant correlates of mindfulness. Additionally, statistical outcomes of stepwise multiple regression analysis confirm that emotion regulation and psychological well-being are the significant predictors of mindfulness and contribute collectively towards a 11% variance towards the same. 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
Emotional Abuse and the Pandemic in India: Implications for Policy, Research, and Practice
During the COVID-19 outbreak, cases of violence and abuse have increased significantly around the world, necessitating a reevaluation of our relation-ships. Both violence and abuse seek to control and instill fear in the individ-ual, gradually disrupting their overall well-being. Emotional abuse does not receive the same level of attention and social response as other forms of abuse due to its subtle nature. Its effects are as harmful as physical and sexual abuse, with serious consequences for the mental health of individual and their families. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the importance of mental health. With the imposition of lockdown in India, the number of helplines for domestic violence and abuse has skyrocketed. Abuse experien-ces can be seen to be bidirectional; women are not alone in such instances. Many cases, however, go unreported and never reach formal institutions. The National Family Health Survey (2019-2021) reveals the current state of Indian health and nutrition, but emotional abuse (also referred to inter-changeably in this article as emotional violence) only includes responses from women and is no longer included under spousal violence in the most recent edition. This article also includes recommendations and attempts to highlight existing shortcomings in addressing the issue of emotional violence. The articles cited in this article were obtained from electronic databases. Other secondary data sources mentioned include newspaper articles, magazines, census reports, and periodicals. 2024 Springer Publishing Company. -
Emotional Inhibition and Personality as Predictors of Anxiety and Depression in Young Adults
Purpose: Anxiety and depression have been major contributors to the global burden of disease, and the impact has been exacerbated following the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand the association between emotional suppression and the introverted-extraverted dimension of personality in young people and anxiety and depression. Method: Participants were 152 Indian females between the age group of 18-25 years who provided basic demographic details and completed three questionnaires via a google form. Findings: Results described a significant negative correlation of anxiety r (152) = .500, p <0.01and depression r(152)=.471, p <0.01 with emotional inhibition. There was also a significant positive correlation of anxiety r (152) = .288,p < 0.01 and depression r(152)= .288, p <0.01 with personality. While Emotional inhibition emerged as a significant negative predictor of anxiety (R2= .250) as well as of depression (R2=.222), personality (R2=.243) emerged as a significant predictor of depression. Conclusion/Value: Contrary to popular belief, the results of this study suggest that anxiety and depression are inversely related to emotional inhibition. It restores the complexity of emotions and the need to investigate their role in various pathologies. These findings provide an initial basis for further investigation into the role of emotional expression and suppression in the Indian population. 2024 RJ4All. -
Emotional Intelligence and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Indian Students in the Context of Interstate Education
India is known for its cultural diversity based on several factors, such as language, religion, race, and customs. In India, people used to move from one place to another for various purposes, and this was particularly the case with students in pursuit of education. In such situations, cross-cultural adaptation is one of the factors that facilitate their adjustment to new cultures and surroundings. Cross-cultural adaptation is needed when a person has to live in a different cultural setting than their own native place. Being sensitive to others emotions is essential when one lives in a new place. Emotional intelligence helps in that way and influences cross-cultural adaptation. Therefore, the present study was intended to explore the influence of emotional intelligence on cross-cultural adaptation. As many as 332 students, aged 17 to 29, who moved to another state for education, participated in the study. Emotional Intelligence Scale and Cross-Cultural Adjustment Scale were used for data collection. The components of emotional intelligence, such as self-emotional appraisal (SEA) and others emotional appraisal (OEA), were found to significantly influence expatriate adjustment. Furthermore, SEA and OEA have also influenced cultural novelty and the use of emotions (UOE). Students from rural areas were found to have more cross-cultural adaptation in the presence of their friends company compared to urban dwellers. In summary, the current study emphasizes the importance of higher emotional intelligence for better cross-cultural adaptation. 2025 Common Ground Research Networks. All rights reserved. -

Emotional Intelligence as a Predictor of Police Operational Stress: A Pilot Study
The present study examined the relationship between police operational stress and emotional intelligence. The study also observed the difference in operational stress and emotional intelligence concerning gender, rank, education, and marital status. The sample included 80 police officers from Bangalore, India. The operational police stress questionnaire developed by McCreary and Thompson (2006) and emotional intelligence scale developed by Hyde et al. (2002) were used to measure police operational stress and emotional intelligence, respectively. Independent sample t-test and Cohens d indicated that differences in gender, rank, education, and marital status had no significant effect on police operational stress. Gender differences had a significant effect on the emotional intelligence factors, empathy, and self-motivation. Differences in rank had a significant effect on empathy, self-motivation, emotional stability, managing relationships, integrity, value orientation, and commitment. Differences in marital status had a significant effect on value orientation. Correlation analysis showed that operational stress had a significant negative relationship with emotional intelligence and its factors such as self-motivation, emotional stability, value orientation, and altruistic behavior. Regression analysis showed emotional intelligence and its factor, emotional stability, as significant predictors of police operational stress. 2021, Society for Police and Criminal Psychology. -
