This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being among aged Kashmiri migrants residing in camps and non-camps in Jammu, India. The study found that migrants residing in non-camps reported higher levels of perceived social support and psychological well-being than those residing in camps. It also found that migrants with high perceived social support had better psychological well-being than those with low perceived social support. A significant positive correlation was found between perceived social support and psychological well-being. The study concluded that perceived social support is important for psychological well-being and more attention should be paid to boosting social support for vulnerable groups like aged migrants residing in camps.

NDE Study - University of Maryland. This dissertation is based on a comprehensive study which investigated the meaning and social significance of "near-death experiences" (NDEs) by situating 50 experiencers (NDErs) as the "inside" experts on these profound, subjective experiences and their real-world impact.
I used a phenomenological, "person-centered" ethnographic approach, new to Near-Death Studies, to make experiencers' lives the orienting framework for my study. Informed by "reformist" qualitative-research ethics and health-education-and-counseling values, I analyzed study-participants' life-history narratives against medical-scientific Near-Death Studies explanatory models, an NDE-Integration-Trajectory (NDE IT) patterns model, and social construction and identity-alternation theory.
My findings were, first, that study participants' descriptions of NDE impact and aftereffects, which matched previous findings, were adequately explained by neither social construction nor medical-scientific theory.
Second, participants in this and previous studies described significant NDE interpretation and integration problems, in which I recognized a previously unidentified, health-education-and-counseling-related, pattern of unmet NDE integration needs.
Third, my findings supported the previous NDE IT findings and model; and also recognized the importance of individuals' multiple cultural meaning systems in shaping their NDE integration patterns.
Fourth, 29 of 50 study participants had not sought out and did not identify Near-Death Studies as a useful NDE integration context or resource; and they described it negatively if they mentioned it at all.
Moreover, the 21 participants who had sought a connection with Near-Death Studies expressed similar dissatisfactions.
My findings speak to the need for development of a research agenda and model(s) designed to assess and address the education and counseling needs of tens of millions of NDErs, and their health care providers.
My analysis addresses the potential social-wellness value, as well as the needs, of a community of 13 million adult NDErs, in the U.S. alone.
It situates its analysis within a context of escalating social and ecological crises and an in-progress paradigm-shift away from the still-official Newtonian/Cartesian material world view of Western culture.
It recognizes the potential social value of NDErs' collective visibility as agents, among many others of a (re)emergent sacred worldview; one that is linked to the world views of diverse indigenous knowledge systems as well as of quantum physics.
Community psychology emerged as an approach to address shortcomings in traditional individual therapy models. It focuses on prevention rather than treatment of existing problems through understanding how individuals and environments interact over time to influence behavior. Community psychology is practiced in real-world settings by assessing community needs and risks to design prevention-focused interventions often through self-help programs. Its emergence was catalyzed by concerns about overreliance on mental hospitals and a desire for community-based solutions to psychological distress.

This document provides a critical comparison of the psychological and gerontological approaches to understanding dementia. While psychology has expanded understanding beyond the biomedical model by focusing on the subjective experience and personhood, it is criticized for lacking empirical evidence and clarity in implementation. Gerontology takes a broader view considering social, political, and economic factors. Both approaches provide insight but are limited, and an integrated interdisciplinary approach is needed to fully address the global challenge of dementia.

This document summarizes a presentation on developing a model to measure student well-being. It discusses the need for a comprehensive yet actionable model of student well-being. The proposed model includes six dimensions: emotional well-being, subjective well-being, meaning/purpose, relational well-being, intellectual well-being, and physical well-being. Each dimension is defined and includes sample measurement items. The dimensions aim to capture students' holistic development and provide a tool that institutions can use to assess and potentially impact student well-being. Feedback was sought on whether these dimensions adequately capture student well-being and growth.
Exercise can help reduce anxiety and depression in both acute and chronic ways. Short-term exercise provides temporary relief from anxiety, while longer-term exercise programs over 9 weeks or more can produce larger antidepressant effects. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercise are associated with reductions in depression regardless of fitness levels or other factors. Exercise enhances mood and psychological well-being through both physiological changes in the body and brain as well as psychological benefits like increased self-esteem and sense of control.

This article is about social isolation and food insecurity among the rural old people in Kenya. The Kenya policy on aging (2008) sets a framework of addressing the welfare of the aged. The cradle of this policy is twofold: One is the emerging trend of diminishing roles of the elderly people in contributing to national income and two is the weakening of the traditional social structures which provided for welfare including welfare services for the aged. The study sought to answer the following specifi c questions: To want extent are the rural old socially connected? And what is the level of Food Security for rural citizens aged 60 and above? The objectives of the study were to determine the social networks and therefore, social capital citizens aged 60 and above have and to assess the level of Food Security of
rural citizens aged 60 and above. A total of 117 elderly people (age 60 and above) were randomly sampled. Data was collected using. interview a schedules which was designed to capture information on social isolation and sources of food consumed. To test Food Security level, a modifi ed Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) score was used. The fi ndings of this study was that only 43 percent of the old people are living with a relative in the same house. The rest (57) where living alone. It was established that 82 percent purchased
food from the market. On food consumption there was 100 percent skewness towards grains and cereals (every person reported to be consuming this on a daily basis). On average the older persons in this study have a score of 4.04 X10/9 = 4.5 and falling in the class of food insecure without hunger based on the classifi cation scale.

This document discusses factors that influence social exclusion, particularly among prisoners. It notes that many prisoners come from deprived backgrounds, have poor education and mental health issues. In prison, inmates often lose contact with outside support networks and coping mechanisms. Upon release, prisoners frequently struggle to find housing, employment and community support, increasing their risk of reoffending. The case study of "Claude" illustrates this vicious cycle of social exclusion and recidivism due to a lack of support both during and after incarceration.
Social Determinants of Urban Mental Health: Paving the Way Forward: Dr. Sarah...TheAdlerSchool
This document discusses the social determinants of urban mental health. It summarizes research showing that mental health is influenced by social environments, including social cohesion, social capital, and ethnic density. Studies have found that areas with greater social fragmentation and lack of cohesion tend to have worse mental health outcomes at the population level. Conversely, areas with more supportive social networks and participation tend to be associated with better mental health. The research combines individual and population data, as well as qualitative accounts, to understand how social environments impact mental health.
Quality of Life and Psychological Well Being among Elderly Living in Old Age ...ijtsrd

Within domains, elderly living with families scored highest in environmental quality of life and psychological health, while social relationships were weaker. The findings suggest living with families is associated with better quality of life and psychological well-being for elderly people than living in old age homes.
PHILOSOPHICAL ASSESMENT OF YOUTH MORAL QUALITY IN TANZANIA IN SIXTY YEARS OF ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The question of youth moral quality in Tanzania since independence is the main question in this
article. From literature reviewed and observation, it was found that, since independence youth moral quality has
been declining exponentially. That is to say, youth of present modern society of Tanzania manifests a
continuous moral decay compared to youth in traditional society before independence and colonialism. Several
factors have been presented as roots for moral decadence among youth. These factors include poor parenting,
poor example from elders, lack of systematic study of morality, improper use of social media and internet,
superstitious beliefs and conflicting values of the past and present. The author of this article argues that, to
improve moral quality among youth in Tanzania, philosophical study of morality should be introduced from
primary school to tertiary level. This will help to form proper moral reasoning from childhood. In addition to
that, elders and other guardians should change their attitude to become proper example to the youths.
Superstitious beliefs should be abolished and good traditional values of Tanzania should be revived in society.
The author thinks that, good moral quality can be achieved when government and citizens decide to cooperate in
implementing the above suggested solutions. This work is divided in three parts, introduction, discussion and
conclusion.

11.quality of life of slum women a case study of mangalore cityAlexander Decker
The document summarizes a study on the quality of life of slum women in Mangalore City, India. 200 slum women aged 18-45 were assessed using the WHOQOL scale. Results showed scores were below average across all domains, particularly environmental and social relationships. This reveals a very poor quality of life for slum women due to neglect, hardships, and poor living conditions. Improving conditions and support from government and non-profits is recommended to enhance their quality of life.
Quality of life of slum women a case study of mangalore cityAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the quality of life of women living in slums in Mangalore City, India. 200 women between the ages of 18-45 from 4 slums were surveyed using the WHOQOL quality of life scale. The scale measures 24 facets across 6 domains: physical, psychological, independence, social relationships, environment, and spiritual. Results found that women scored below average on all domains, with particularly low scores on the environmental and social relationships domains. This reveals a very poor quality of life for slum women due to neglect, suffering, and social alienation. Improving conditions and quality of life for these women should be a priority for governmental and non-governmental organizations.
This document discusses factors that influence social exclusion, particularly among prisoners. It notes that many prisoners come from deprived backgrounds, have poor education and mental health issues. In prison, inmates often lose contact with outside support networks and coping mechanisms. Upon release, prisoners frequently struggle to find housing, employment and community support, increasing their risk of reoffending. The case study of "Claude" illustrates this vicious cycle of social exclusion and recidivism due to a lack of support both during and after incarceration.
Social Determinants of Urban Mental Health: Paving the Way Forward: Dr. Sarah...TheAdlerSchool
This document discusses the social determinants of urban mental health. It summarizes research showing that mental health is influenced by social environments, including social cohesion, social capital, and ethnic density. Studies have found that areas with greater social fragmentation and lack of cohesion tend to have worse mental health outcomes at the population level. Conversely, areas with more supportive social networks and participation tend to be associated with better mental health. The research combines individual and population data, as well as qualitative accounts, to understand how social environments impact mental health.

PHILOSOPHICAL ASSESMENT OF YOUTH MORAL QUALITY IN TANZANIA IN SIXTY YEARS OF ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The question of youth moral quality in Tanzania since independence is the main question in this
article. From literature reviewed and observation, it was found that, since independence youth moral quality has
been declining exponentially. That is to say, youth of present modern society of Tanzania manifests a
continuous moral decay compared to youth in traditional society before independence and colonialism. Several
factors have been presented as roots for moral decadence among youth. These factors include poor parenting,
poor example from elders, lack of systematic study of morality, improper use of social media and internet,
superstitious beliefs and conflicting values of the past and present. The author of this article argues that, to
improve moral quality among youth in Tanzania, philosophical study of morality should be introduced from
primary school to tertiary level. This will help to form proper moral reasoning from childhood. In addition to
that, elders and other guardians should change their attitude to become proper example to the youths.
Superstitious beliefs should be abolished and good traditional values of Tanzania should be revived in society.
The author thinks that, good moral quality can be achieved when government and citizens decide to cooperate in
implementing the above suggested solutions. This work is divided in three parts, introduction, discussion and
conclusion.
KEYWORDS: Morality, Youth, Critical thinking, politics and Philosophy of Religion.

SOCW 6210 Week 8 discussion post responses.
Respond to colleagues who addressed cultures that are different from the ones you addressed. Share an insight from reading your colleagues' postings. Describe how you might incorporate the cultural perspectives on aging described by your colleagues into your own social work practice.
Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.
This is my discussion post:
In the following paragraphs I will attempt to provide details concerning this week’s discussion topic of sociocultural differences with perspectives on aging. The following will include a comparison of American culture on aging against that of Japan and China. I will explain why differences exist and how the differing perspectives on aging my impact social work practice.
Different cultures have different perspectives on aging. Americans have three perceptions on the elderly (60+ years old). The three perceptions are the capabilities, the role in the society and the culpabilities of the elderly. In relation to social work practice such as healthcare needs, Americans believe that the elderly experience a loss of control and deterioration which results in difficulties in meeting their needs. Even though this is the perception of the elderly, experts in America believe that the elderly are a source of social productivity. In Japan, this culture is different as the older adults are more productive thus have better personal growth compared to the older adults in America (Harding, 2015). The elderly in Japan are more salient in social policies compared to the U.S. The Chinese have a culture similar to the U.S one in which the elderly are seen as a burden to the society (Jin Yao, 2018). The elderly are discriminated as opposed to the Japanese culture which values the older adults.
Tuckey-Seeley in his research about life course socioeconomic circumstances, he states that the elderly in the U.S manage multiple chronic diseases thus impacting on their socioeconomic statuses (Tucker-Seeley, 2011). Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) also discusses the psychological aspects in later adulthood states that when a person grows old, they are bound to have memory loss, their intellectual function also deteriorates, and there is decrease in mobility and thus a higher risk of getting diseases. This is due to the many changes that occur in the bodies where there is also reduction in brain size thus having an impact on the older adults (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016). These effects on the elderly affect social work assessments and intervention methods. The elderly ultimately need the help of the society to help them carry out their day to day functions.

This document discusses social capital and its relationship to health. It defines social capital as the networks between people in a society that enable it to function, including trust, shared identities and norms. There are two types: cognitive social capital involving perceptions of trust, and structural involving social networks. Social capital is associated with better health through improved access to health information through social networks, receiving informal healthcare from others, and groups advocating for public health resources. However, social capital is difficult to measure uniformly and its relationship to health can run in both directions.

Spirituality is an important part of holistic care for the elderly. Addressing spirituality allows social workers to better understand issues like illness, disability, and end of life. One effective spiritually based intervention is life reviews, which help elderly clients find meaning and purpose by reflecting on their lives. Research shows that incorporating spirituality and life reviews into interventions can aid the elderly in coping with challenges. Social workers must consider clients' spiritual beliefs and traditions when providing holistic care.

Abstract
Purpose of this study was to explore the differences in perceived social support and psychological
well-being among aged Kashmiri migrants residing in camps and non-camps in Jammu. It also studied if
there was any significant relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being.
Sample comprised of 280 Kashmiri migrants of 60-79 years of age (140 from camps and 140 from
non-camps). Simple random sampling technique was employed for data collection. Social Support
Inventory for Elderly and Psychological Well-being Scale were used to assess perceived social support and
psychological well-being of the respondents respectively. Median value for perceived social support score
was calculated and high and low groups were formed. The differences in the obtained data were analyzed
using‘t’ test and the relationship was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation. Significant difference emerged
in perceived social support and psychological well-being of the aged migrants residing in camp and
non-camp. Significant differences were revealed for high and low perceived social support on
psychological well-being. Perceived social support was significantly related with psychological well-being.
The ways in which social support is understood and perceived is important in ascertaining the role it may
play in aged individual’s psychological well-being.
Keywords: perceived social support, psychological well-being, aged, migrants
1. Introduction
Migration is any movement of people from the place of origin to another resulting into settlement in new
place. Migrants are those individuals who change place of residence from one migrant defined area to
another. Migration may be voluntary or involuntary. Forced migration occurs due to variety of reasons,
such as persecution, occurrence of disasters, war and conflict, ethnic discrimination and so on. Conflict
induced migration took place in the Kashmir valley (Jammu and Kashmir) and within a fortnight Kashmiri
Pandit families moved out of their motherland (Zutshi 2003). They migrated across the country and many
of them had settled in Jammu and also started earning bread for their families. Currently the displaced
Kashmiri Pandits are residing in four camps situated at the periphery of Jammu City and at non-camp
migrant areas within the city in large numbers.
Old age is an opportunity for a whole new chapter in life (Hioki & Tanoka 2004). There is no objective
criterion for determining a person to be old. Indian census has adopted the age sixty for classifying a person
as old. Old age brings various types of changes in physical structure, cognitive abilities, emotions and
personality pattern. These changes give rise to various problems in old age. Activities of old people are
reduced and the social relationships become lesser with immediate family support reduced. Presently there
are 76 million people aged 60 years and over and it is projected to rise to whopping 180 million by the year
2025 (Registrar General of India 2006). As old age is associated with different problems–the increasing
number of elderly people is alarming for the society and the nation as a whole. Well-being of elderly has

Social support plays critical role in the lives of aged individuals. It becomes extremely significant resource
as they age. Social support also contributes toward well-being even in the presence of high level of stress. It
generates the sense of self-worth and positive affect (Cohen & Syme 1985). Migration is a stressful event.
Social support might moderate the effect of stress on the elderly Kashmiri migrants. As social support has
buffering effect it helps in improving well-being (Antonucci, Sherman & Akiyama 1996). Buffering
hypothesis is suggestive of that social support may perform function of coping against life stresses (Stolar,
Mac Entee & Hill 1993). It may perform protective function. Social support is not only associated with
coping but also helps in avoiding negative events as it provides a feeling of self-worth to an individual, thus
contribute to well-being. As per Wethington & Kessler (1986), perceived social support is more important
than received social support. Mere perception of social support can act as a buffer for individual facing
stressful life situations (Cohen & Wills 1985). Perceived social support is subjective evaluation of resources
received in a given situation and its felt appropriateness and satisfaction (Vaux 1990).
Several studies have provided strong evidence in support of the relationship between social support and
psychological well-being. Yoon & Lee (2007) analyzed psychological well-being among rural elderly and
found a significant association between dimension of social support and psychological well-being. In an
attempt to examine effects of social support on psychological well-being among older Chinese and Korean
immigrants Wong, Yoo & Stewart (2007) reported more social support significantly contributed to better
overall psychological wellbeing. Also, it has been emphasized that inadequate social support is associated
not only with an increase in mortality and morbidity but also a decrease in psychological well-being (WHO
2002). Skok, Harvey & Reddihough (2006) studied impact of perceived social support on well-being and
confirmed that perceived social support significantly predicted well-being. Schulz & Decker (1985) found
that persons who perceived themselves as having high levels of social support had high levels of
well-being.
In the wake of the changing demographic structure with a sharp increase in number of aged it becomes
necessary to look into the well-being of this population. The aged migrants need special attention as they
are not only old but also are fighting with the stressful life conditions resulted from migration. Most of the
studies conducted reflect an association between social support and well-being it becomes necessary to
explore these variables further through empirical investigations.

2. Method
2.1 Sample
The present study was formulated with an intention to study the effect of perceived social support on the
psychological well-being. A random sample of 280 aged Kashmiri Pandit migrants in the age group of
60-79 years were selected for the study of which 140 resided in camps and 140 resided in non-camps. Due
to limited resources, the study covered only aged Kashmiri migrants living in Jammu division.
2.2 Tools
Following psychometric tools were employed to assess the extent level of the variables included in this
study.
2.2.1 Social Support Inventory for Elderly (Ramamurti & Jamuna 1991)
The Social Support Inventory for Elderly measures the perceived social support in four major areas of daily
life and transactions of the elderly, viz., family, finance, social, and emotional. The inventory has
satisfactory context validity and temporal reliability. The inventory was administered to a group of 30
socially well-adjusted elderly and 30 poorly adjusted elderly persons on a basis of adjustment inventory
(Ramamurthi 1969). The inventory discriminated between these 2 groups significantly at 0.01level (t-9.40).
The final lists of statements were administered to 30 elderly men and elderly women twice within an
interval of 15 days. Pearson’s r between the two set of scores was found to be 0.90.
Scoring: Each statement carries 6 points response scale varying from experience of good social support
“almost all the time” to “no support”. More the score better the perceived social support.
2.2.2 Psychological Well Being Scale (Bhogley & Prakash 1995)
A twenty eight item scale as a quick measure of Psychological well-being is comprehensive, factorially
adequate, reliable and valid tool. The scale has internal consistency coefficient of 0.91. Retest using the
same questionnaire after three months, yielded a correlation of 0.72. This scale has high correlation of 0.62
with subjective well-being questionnaire of Nagpal & Sell (1985) and 0.48 with Subjective well-being
questionnaire of Verma & Verma (1989).
Scoring: The 28 items on the scale have two response options: “yes” and “no”. There is no right or wrong
answers. If the response matches the scoring key, score of 1 is given. Maximum possible score is 28 with
lower score indicative of low psychological well-being.
2.3 Procedure: Camp and non-camp aged Kashmiri migrants were contacted and data were collected
personally along with identified youth volunteers by visiting the residence of aged participants. At the
outset the purpose of the study was explained to them. Respondents were informed of the confidentiality of
all responses and were given opportunity to participate or refuse to participate. It was made clear to the
prospective participants that should they consent to participate in the study they would be under no
obligation to complete the study and answer all the questions and were free to withdraw anytime with no

explanation required. In the second phase rapport was established with the participants who agreed for
participation in the study. Following this the questionnaires were administered. The elderly participants
preferred to have the questions read to them. Therefore, the questions were read out loudly to them and
doubts clarified. Only a few participants preferred to fill in the questionnaires on their own. They were
allowed to fill these while giving them instructions as in manual of respective scale or questionnaire. In
between a break of five minutes was given to the participants after completion of a given questionnaire if
required. The questionnaires were taken back immediately after they were filled in. Following this scoring
work was taken up. The scoring of the tools was done as per instructions given in the manuals for scoring.
SPSS 19 was used for analyzing the data statistically as per demand of the study.
3. Results
Mean and standard deviation were calculated from the obtained data. For assessing the significance of
difference between groups t-test was applied. Median value for perceived social support score was
calculated and the respondents were divided into two groups i.e. high perceived social support and low
perceived social support. Correlation between scores on perceived social support and psychological
well-being were computed using product moment method and analysis was done.
Results related to scores on Social Support Inventory (A measure of perceived social support) have been
presented in Table 1.
Table 1 about here
The results depicted in Table 1 for perceived social support make it apparent that aged Kashmiri migrants
residing in areas other than camps set up for migrants are higher on perceived social support in comparison
to those who are residing in camps. Similarly the results for psychological well-being reveal higher mean
for non-camp residents.
Table 2 about here
The results depicted in Table 2 make it apparent that the respondents who scored high on the measure of
perceived social support manifested better psychological well-being in comparison to those scoring low on
perceived social support. The results suggest that the participants who perceived social support positively or
perceived it even when there was none showed better psychological well-being.
Analysis by Pearson’s correlation confirmed a significant positive correlation between scores on the
perceived social support measure and psychological well-being scale (r = .67, p < .01). Results are
consistent with previous studies of Schulz & Decker (1985), Helgeson (1993), Mc Dowell & Serovich
(2007), Wong, Yoo & Stewart (2007).
4. Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between perceived social support and
psychological well being in aged migrants. Review of literature has shown that there is, indeed, a positive
relationship between perceived social support and psychological well being. The data in the present study
suggested that such a relationship is also found in aged Kashmiri migrants – perceived social support has an
influence on psychological well-being of aged Kashmiri migrants. Perceived social support is related with

psychological well-being. The ways in which social support is understood and perceived is important in
ascertaining the role it may play in aged individual’s psychological well-being.
The results reveal that the camp residents are lower in level of perceived social support and the study
suggests need for close attention to the perceived social support. This population in particular is vulnerable
to have poor psychological well-being. It has been already established that perceived social support is
related to psychological well-being (Schulz & Decker 1985; Helgeson 1993; Mc Dowell & Serovich 2007;
Wong, Yoo & Stewart 2007). Further studies should be focused on determining the factors associated with
perceived social support in aged migrants. The efforts should be made to identify the characteristics of aged
that predispose them to perceive social support so that suitable interventions are devised and introduced to
this population. Family members, caregivers, friends and other associates of aged people must understand
the underlying causes reflected in psychological-wellbeing and the effect of perceived social support on it.
Strong positive relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being indicated that it
is vital to quality of life of aged. Another future direction of research could be an exploration of perceived
social support on other domains of quality of life such as physical well-being and environmental
well-being.
Since this study has been carried out specifically on aged Kashmiri migrants its results can be generalized
only on this population. To overcome this limitation a comparative study on culturally different aged people
could be useful. The rapid transition in demographic structure certainly necessitates need for understanding
the role that social support plays on well-being.
