This research sought to examine the association between perceived emotional intelligence (EI), grit, and suicide ideation among cancer patients in Pakistan. In Lahore, Pakistan, 110 cancer patients were recruited from two hospitals. Perceived Emotional Intelligence Scale, Grit Scale, and Suicidal Ideation Scale were completed by the individuals. There was a significant negative association between perceived emotional intelligence and suicidal ideation (r = -0.24, p<.05) and also a significant negative correlation between grit and suicidal ideation (r = -0.28, p<.05). In addition, perceived EI regulated the association between grit and suicidal ideation, such that high levels of EI diminished the positive relationship between grit and suicidal ideation. This research illustrates the relevance of emotional intelligence and grit for the mental health of Pakistani cancer patients and proposes that therapies focused at enhancing emotional intelligence and grit may help to minimize suicidal thoughts in this group. Findings show that therapies focusing on EI and grit may be useful in lowering suicidal ideation in this group. To lessen suicide thoughts among cancer patients in Pakistan, future research should concentrate on designing therapies that target EI and grit.

This research work aimed to determine the correlation between self-control, moral disengagement, and adolescent bullying behavior. Data was collected from the Government and private colleges of Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan. The sample consisted of 200 boys and girls student. Co-relational research design and convenient sampling were used to collect data from students using tools, i.e., demographic information form, brief self-control scale, moral disengagement bullying scale, and Illinois bullying scale. The verdict indicated that self-control has significantly negative correlated with bullying behavior, and moral disengagement has significantly positive correlated with bullying behavior. The findings also showed that self-control does not correlate with moral disengagement. Furthermore, this study also examines many other factors that have significantly co-related with bullying behavior in adolescents, like gender, parental education, living status, educational center, educational level, drug abuse, relation with friends, and home environment. This research guides future researchers in developing culturally related intervention plans and policies for preventing adolescent bullying behavior.
