In order to accomplish the aims of the present work, two experiments were carried. For the experiment 1, colour preference task was administered to 100 participants to determine individual colour preferences for 32 single colours. For the experiment 2, colour emotion task was carried out to 100 participants to determine individual colour emotions for 16 single colours. In addition, participants completed the NEO-FFI 3 to determine the personality domains scores. The obtained data was analyzed using the following techniques, namely, Descriptive statistics, Multivariate analysis of variance, and Correlation coefficients. The results of this study suggest cultural and gender differences in colour preference and colour emotions. The results also suggest relationships between personality traits and colour preferences and colour emotions.

In view of the multifaceted applications of DBT and the extent to which mental disorders can incapacitate cognitive functions, the current systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of DBT in strengthening cognitive functions across various mental health conditions. Original research studies employing both experimental and quasi-experimental designs were included in the review. The literature search was done using different electronic databases, from the first available literature until June 2022, that covered an approximate period of ten years. Joanna Briggs Institute checklist was used to assess the methodological rigor of the studies. Twelve studies conducted on adolescents with emotional dysregulation, and adults with borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and multiple sclerosis were selected. Results indicate that DBT has the potential to improve key cognitive functions such as attention, memory, fluency, response inhibition, planning, set shifting, tolerance for delayed rewards and time perception, as assessed by neuropsychological tests, self-report of cognitive functions, and neuroimaging techniques. Considering the review's findings that showcase the effectiveness of DBT in fostering improvements in cognitive functions, DBT may possibly be chosen as a preferred treatment to ensure that patients reach optimal levels of cognitive functioning. Limitations include lack of sufficient studies encompassing all the common mental health conditions, usage of neuroimaging techniques as only an indirect measure of cognitive functioning and nuances related to the quality of individual studies.
