Cultural Conditioning Impact on Delusions / IJARSCT ISSN (Online) 2581-9429

The aim of this term paper was to study and understand the impact of cultures and cultural conditioning on the delusions, by reviewing various studies and papers related to the contents of the topic. Delusions are basically the false beliefs and are fixed in nature. Culture in which a person lives has a major impact on his/her thinking. Culture influences the thoughts and thinking of an individual. Religion being a major part of culture has been found to affect delusions. The religious beliefs a person might hold add up to their mental frame works and can further add up in the

formation of delusions.
The ability to even recognize the delusional attribution is affected by the cultural context. It was observed that the mental dysfunction might not be realized by individuals if these delusions were embedded within their cultural context. Cultural conditioning even affects critical thinking of an individual.
Delusions are often formed when a person goes through psychosis- a series of symptoms indicating that one has lost touch with the reality. In various cases of serious psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, religious activities have been a risk factor to the religious delusions. Some studies suggested that attempts to abide to cultural and religious standards, rules and regulations and failure to achieve them might induce a sense of not being “good enough” or “not worthy” these feelings may lead to negative psychosis and delusion.

Possession Disorder / IJARSCT ISSN (Online) 2581-9429

KEY LEARNINGS
An uncommon or altered state of consciousness and related behaviours are referred to as possession disorder. The occurrence of possession was not supported by science. They are more likely to exhibit psychotic behaviour or endocrine and neurological disorders. They are complicated, though, and a psychologists must have a thorough understanding of the cultural, social, physical, and medical circumstances. Science refutes the arguments put forth by common sense, religion, and the media. But it's important to keep in mind that more research is still required to conclusively establish the link between possession and dissociative disorder and most essentially develop an understanding of possession in cultural aspect as well. Aim towards throwing more light on natural sources of

possession occurrences by sceptically and critically examining these kinds of manifestations.

CONCLUSION

his secondary research paper aimed to gain insight into Possession Disorder. After analysing various literatures, it was concluded that possession could be explained as an episode of dissociation and derealisation. However, culture plays a crucial role in channelizing or influencing this dissociation. Traumatic events have been showed a major contribution in

causing dissociation or dissociative identity disorder, as a defence mechanism of human brain.
More research in this field is required to develop an understanding about the influence of culture in “possession” as well as physiological changes also need to be highlighted.

Impact of Gratitude and Optimism on Psychological Well-Being / IJARSCT ISSN (Online) 2581-9429

DISCUSSION

The aim of the research is to find the Impact of Gratitude and Optimism on Psychological Well-Being on adults (18-60).Gratitude is the feeling of thankfulness and appreciation for the positive aspects of life. It involves recognizing andvaluing the good things and people in one’s life.Optimism is the tendency to have a positive outlook on the future. Optimistic individuals tend to believe that things willwork out for the best and are more likely to see challenges as temporary setbacks rather than insurmountable obstacles.Psychological Well-Being is described as a state of mental and emotional health marked by positive emotions,engagement, meaningful relationships, a sense of purpose and a feeling of accomplishment. It reflects overall lifesatisfaction and happiness.Optimism and Its Impact on Mental and Physical Well-Being" by Maria A. Irimia et al. (2022). This study found thatoptimism is associated with better mental and physical health, including lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress,and higher levels of life satisfaction, happiness, and resilience.The Relations between Hope and Subjective Well-Being: a Literature Overview and Empirical Analysis" by Yi-ChunLiu et al. (2019). This study found that hope is positively correlated with subjective well-being, and that the relationshipis stronger for cognitive hope and emotional hope than for positive expectations.Responses from 81 random pool of people were taken, age ranging from minimum 18 years to maximum 59 years. Thesampling of the individuals was done by Purposive sampling. The results of the above research can be divided into 3parts,Correlation between the variables (Psychological Well-Being, Gratitude and Optimism) across the age group 18-27 and30-60.It was recorded that Psychological Well-Being and Optimism had a positive correlation with the value being +0.618and +0.384 respectively for 18-27 and 30-60.It was even recorded that Psychological Well-Being and Gratitude had a negative correlation with the value being -0.352 and -0.380 respectively for 18-27 and 30-60.Optimism and Gratitude even showed a negative correlation with the value being -0.425 and -0.387 respectively for 18-27 and 30-60.Regression Analysis between the variables (Psychological Well-Being, Optimism and Gratitude) across the age group18-27 and 30-60.The significance value between the Psychological Well-Being and Optimism for the age group 18-27 was 6.245 whichcan equate to almost no significance.The significance value between the Psychological Well-Being and Gratitude for the age group 18-27 was 0.008 whichcan equate to no significance. The significance value between the Psychological Well-Being and Optimism for the age group 30-60 was 0.52 whichcan equate to high significance.The significance value between the Psychological Well-Being and Gratitude for the age group 30-60 was 0.05 whichcan equate to a little significance. Comparison between Psychological Well-Being and Optimism in different genders across the spectrum of age group The average for men’s psychological well-being was 94.37 and optimism was 21.5.The average for female’s psychological well-being was 90.46 and optimism was 21.21.

The correlation between the male and female psychological wellbeing and optimism was +0.51 and +0.59 respectively

displaying the same is more correlated among women than in men.

CONCLUSION
In summary, the research suggests that optimism has a positive impact on psychological well-being for the age group 30-60, while gratitude appears to have a more complex relationship. While gratitude is generally associated with positive outcomes, in the context of this research, it seems that as psychological well-being and optimism increase, gratitude tends to decrease. Moreover, an enhanced image can be drawn that males have a better psychological well- being and thus optimism as compared to women. Although the scores are more correlated for women as compared to men. However, it's important to note that correlation does not imply causation, and individual experiences may vary.
