| Abstract: | The present study is, however, unique as it uses anger management and negative mood regulation expectancies based on Indian psychological models. The multidimensional psychological interventions used in this study were chosen on the basis of indigenous psychological viewpoints embedded in Yoga and meditational techniques. They included pranayam, "Om" chanting, mood management through Indian soft music, other Yogic exercises for physical fitness, and anger management through shavasana. In the present study a multidimensional intervention was given to the volunteers from different ranks of police personnel (e.g. constables, head constables, assistant sub inspectors and inspectors). The control group was only exposed to physical relaxation training. Further, to assess the efficacy of these interventions, scores on all the dependent variables, taken prior to and after the intervention, have been compared. Repeated measure analysis of variance was applied. However, because of the lack of availability of this sample in future follow-up score have not been taken. RPMANOVA revealed the efficacy of multidimensional intervention in reducing anger and enhanced negative mood regulation expectancies score from pre to post assessment trials, regardless of the ranks of police personnel. All these findings have been interpreted and suggestions for future research have also been put forth. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract) |
