“…A substantial body of research demonstrates the significance of positive inter-personal relationships for healthy human functioning (Bronfenbrenner, 1986;Fyson, 1999;Royal & Rossi, 1996) . Relationships are a major source of happiness and a buffer against stress (McCarthy, Pretty, & Catano, 1990).…”

This paper empirically tries to establish the relationship between relationship conflicts at the work place and affect states of the individual. Relationship conflict at workplace is detrimental to individuals, groups and organisations. Relationship conflict has various individual and organisational level outcomes. Affect states of the individual can influence various individual behaviours. Researches in the conflict domain have considered conflict as a rational process and avoided affect related variables. Hence, this study tries to fill this gap. Standard questionnaires were used for data collection. Data have been collected from 140 IT engineers working in Kerala. Simple linear regression and moderation regression analysis were used for analysis. The result revealed that there is no significant relationship between relationship conflict and positive affect. However, there exists significant relationship between relationship conflict and negative affect. To understand the role of perceived relationship conflict importance moderation regression analysis was done. The analysis proved the moderating role of perceived relationship conflict importance in the relationship conflictnegative affect relationship. Thus the study has proved relationship conflict can increase the negative affect and perceiving relationship conflict as important can increase the negative affect of the individual and vice versa. The studyhas also proved relationship conflict does not create positive affect in individual. Hence, to reduce the negative impact of relationship conflict HR managers should avoid the number of individuals involving in conflict situation.

“…Also, the arrows between the strengthening and weakening experiences of PSoC could theoretically go two ways, but there was no report of this in the data so far. That is, there were no student recounts of moving from a level of doubt across to the strengthening side (Fyson 1999).…”

The research involved examining the nature of the transition that students experienced in progressing to junior high school from primary school. Students' experiences were chosen as the focus of the research because the issue of substance being investigated was that of alienation. The main methodology that was used was the qualitative procedure of discourse analysis, implemented over a 3-year period. This report describes the findings from the first year of the study.

The physical environment is the space in which people with a disability participate in the public sphere. The community provides a suitable unit of analysis for investigating the interaction between the physical environment and persons with a disability because it is the common space in which public participation is played out. The places, physical features, structures and objects that constitute the physical environment bear the inscription of the social, political and economic environments. The physical environment reciprocally influences the social, political and economic environments, as well as the perceptions of participants in the public sphere. Community receptivity is a concept that links the physical and social environment in relation to community readiness to support the public participation of persons with a disability. Results of a recent community-based program of research in the USA that developed and tested measures of community receptivity to people with a physical mobility limitation are reported. Implications of this research are discussed together with suggestions for future research.
