Muslims scored higher on the traditional religious beliefs subscale in comparison with the Hindus. On the other hand, among the Hindus a higher degree of endorsement of witchcraft was observed. However, so far as the Christians are concerned no significant differences were observed either on global paranormal beliefs or any of the subscales of the paranormal beliefs. Socially marginal groups were found to be more susceptible to paranormal beliefs. They scored higher on psi, witchcraft, superstition, spiritualism, precognition as well as the total-paranormal beliefs scale.

It paralyses the human life, thereby making it difficult for people suffering of stress to live a normal life. The lives of women of current era are highly stressful and much different than the older days. Nowadays women tend to expand their lives to include a career while maintaining their traditional roles. Studies have revealed that the dual-career families have witnessed deleterious effects on the life satisfaction of women and an enormous rise in their levels of stress. Stress and Life satisfaction are interrelated with each other. The sense of one's identity or self is an important dimension of individual's personality giving each one of us unique individuality. Women holding a job or pursuing a career are more vulnerable to stress because they shoulder dual responsibilities. The present study aims to find the difference, if any, between the life satisfaction and the level of stress of working and non working women. The sample of this study comprised of 100 women (50 working and 50 non working). The tools were individually administered to all the participants of the study and all the possible precautions were taken. T-test was used for analyzing the data. Significant differences were found between the two groups. KEYWORDS: Life Satisfaction, Level of Stress, working and non-working women.

Concepts of mental health, among others, include subjective well-being, perceived self efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence and self actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential. From a cross-cultural perspective it is nearly impossible to define mental health comprehensively. It is, however, generally agreed that mental health is a broader term than lack of mental disorders. The present study aims to find the difference, if any, between the mental health and the level of stress of Indian and Foreign post-graduate students. The sample of this study comprised of 60 students (30 Indians and 30 Foreigners) studying at AMU, Aligarh. The tools were individually administered to all the participants of the study and all the possible precautions were taken. t-test was used for analyzing the data. Significant differences were found between the two groups.

It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility if not adequately treated. Although medications that are effective for some types of arthritis pain have become available, cost, access, and questions about product safety result in arthritis continue to be a cause of diminished quality of life for many older adults. There has been an increasing interest in the use of complementary and alternative medicine interventions for the treatment of pain in rheumatoid arthritis.
