Role of Religious Orientation in Predicting Marital Adjustment and Psychological Well-Being

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. A global 2012 poll reports that 59% of the world's population is religious, 23% are not religious, and 13% are atheists.

Indeed,to individual, religious has its advantages and disadvantages. But a paper from Scientific Research Publishing pointed out that internal religious orientation can predict the psychological well-being and marital adjustment meaningfully.

Indian Passes Stricter Law on Sexual Violence-A Thought on The Causing of Violence

Today,there is a good news: Indian parliament passes stricter law on sexual violence.In December 2012, India had occurred fatal gang rape of a young woman on a bus  which shocked the world.

Looking for job: maybe gender and race are not that important

At the job fairs, the recruitment often shows: Men only or women only.So we often complain about gender discrimination.A research<Workplace Identities of Women in the US Labor Market> from SCIRP claimes that:it is not so important!The following is the general ideas:

In this paper, I examine the effects of gender and race/ethnicity on American workers’ workplace identities. Literature on gender, work, and occupation suggests that gender and race are significant predictors of workers’ workplace identities. Literature also posits that self-perceived competency and reflected appraisals from others in workplaces also contribute considerably to workers’ workplace identities. However, there exists hardly any empirical study that explores the impacts of gender, race, workers’ self-perceived competency, and their reflected appraisals altogether on their workplace identities. That is what I accomplished in this study. Deriving the data from the National Study of Changing Workforce (NSCW: 2008) I ask: 1) Do women and men workers in America differ in their perceptions of workplace identities; 2) Do non-white and white workers in America differ in their perceptions of workplace identities; and 3) Do gender and race of the workers impact their workplace identities when self-perceived competency and reflected appraisals enter the equation? Analyses are based on quantitative methods. Results show that workers’ self-perceived competency and their reflected appraisals are more significant predictors of their workplace identities than gender or race.

You who are looking for job，don’t be upset by gender or race any more.There is something more important!
