Abstract
As research suggested
that there is a relationship between the newly developed positive irrational
belief scale and subjective wellbeing. It was anticipated that current
perceptions of oneself would generally be associated with current level of
wellbeing of an individual. The rationale behind this study is to understand
that how positive irrational beliefs are correlated with mental health and
emotional stability. Through this study an attempt was also made to find out
the relationship between positive irrational beliefs, mental health and
emotional stability. Three structured pre tested questionnaires were used for
primary data collection: Positive Irrational Beliefs Scale (PIBS) developed by
Taylor and Brown (1988), along with the Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) and
Emotional Stability Questionnaire (ESQ) developed by Psycom Services (1995).
Cross sectional study was conducted amongst the young adults the between the
age group of 18 to 25 years. Sampling technique was stratified sampling the
results showed a positive and significant correlation between positive
irrational beliefs and mental health in early young adults. SPSS version 16 was
used to analyse the result. Nevertheless, the study did not show a positive and
significant association between positive irrational beliefs and emotional
stability in early young adults. There was no conflict of interest. Limitation
of the study involves the reliability of the responses however it can be ruled
out as the sample size is more than 100 and beliefs were almost of similar
nature in positive corelation however it needs to be further explored in
subsequent studies.
