Relationships and Well-being

Relationships and Well-being- Nirupam

 

If you think back on your best life experiences, most likely they involved other people. We enjoy sharing our experiences with others, and the need to belong is thought to be one of the psychological drives that underlie our desire for healthy relationships. Aristotle commented that humans are fundamentally social in nature.

The relationships we make in our lives directly affect our well-being mainly in two forms-Happiness and Health. Well-being has various physical, emotional, social, mental, and even spiritual dimensions.  On the other hand, a Relationship could be in the form of romantic, family, or friendship.

 

Presence of relationships

When attempting to comprehend how relationships affect well-being, the existence of relationships must be taken into account first. Simply put, we can find it by various ways like 

1. Is he/ she married which generally is not a matter of concern for B. Tech students but of course it is important for the Ph.D. students? 

2. Have they got a lot of friends? Lack of good friends could be a potential reason for the increase in the rate of suicide in IIT Delhi.

3.  Are they a club/society member? We can clearly see that a person involved in any club in IITD has more positive attitude and is mentally peaceful as he gets chances to interact with lots of people.

The size of a person's social network or the number of their friends are two examples of objective social variables that can be used to determine the relationship-making capability of a person. According to research, people's sense of well-being is generally affected more favourably by the number of social connections they have. 

The two most common relationships in IIT Delhi are

Friendship in IIT Delhi

The true nature of friendship has deteriorated a lot in IIT Delhi. Most people make friends so that they can get help for completing their assignments, cheating in exams, or other situations where they need someone's help. After having the work done, they simply forgot everything. True friendship rarely exists and according to me, the main culprit is the relative grading. This is the potential reason why the suicide rate is increasing a lot on our campus. Students are not able to share their very personal feelings to someone whom they can trust blindly leading to the deterioration of the well-being of students and taking extreme steps.

True friendship can be built only when there is more of giving nature rather than taking nature.

Love Relationship in IIT Delhi

In my life, the worst situation of a love relationship I have ever seen is in IIT Delhi. It is more like making other fools and using each other. Sadly, but yes, it is true that Hookup culture is more prominent in Delhi and increasing on a daily basis. The core requirement to make someone a girlfriend or boyfriend is associated with money, connections, academic-related help, etc. I am not saying this is wrong but behavior, kindness, and honesty do not have even a 1 % chance of standing. The relationship here is more of necessary for survival as there is a lack of friends rather than what we used to say for true love.

I think this thinking process should be changed, we often play with others' feelings, disturbing their well-being.

    Very well explained both the relationships. Liked the "more of giving rather than taking" aspect.

    Unfortunately, all the content in Love Relationship is true, which often results in people getting depressed and their academic and personal life deteriorates.

The Art of Persuasion - SHIVAM JHARWAL

In the labyrinth of human interaction, the art of persuasion emerges as a complex dance between conscious decision-making and subconscious influences. The following arguments I make delves into the intricacies of persuasion, dissecting its various components, routes, and the psychological triggers that manipulate our decisions. Let's embark on a critical analysis, exploring key psychological terms and concepts embedded in this exploration of the persuasive process. Persuasion Defined: We start by defining persuasion as "the process by which a message induces change in beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors" (Myers, 2011). This immediate framing places persuasion within the realm of psychological influence, setting the stage for the exploration of its diverse forms. Central and Peripheral Routes: A fundamental concept in persuasion theory is the differentiation between central and peripheral routes (Petty & Cacioppo, 1986). The central route relies on direct, logical message...

Harmony in Diversity: The Essence of Collectivism and Cooperation in Indian Society - SHIVAM JHARWAL

Image
Religious Harmony in India India, as we know it, is a tapestry of diverse cultures and is renowned for its collective ethos and cooperative spirit, reflecting intricate psychological underpinnings that shape societal behavior. The very fabric of Indian society is interwoven with psychological constructs such as 'social identity' and 'interconnectedness.' At the heart of Indian collectivism lies the ancient philosophical concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, ' embodying a cognitive framework that perceives the world as one family. This belief fosters a sense of 'shared social identity' among individuals, transcending traditional boundaries of caste, creed, and religion. Psychologically, this shared identity enhances a collective sense of belonging and purpose. The prevalence of joint families in India is not merely a social structure but a manifestation of 'collective efficacy,' where individuals believe in their joint capacity to achieve common goal...
