9.Types of research based on the enquiry mode

Research can be classified based on how researchers gather and analyze

information, which falls under the category of enquiry mode. Here are the two main
types:

 Quantitative Research: This method relies on numbers and statistics.

Researchers design structured methods like surveys and experiments to
collect quantifiable data. They analyze this data using statistical techniques to
test hypotheses and establish cause-and-effect relationships.

 Qualitative Research: This method focuses on understanding experiences

and meanings. Researchers use unstructured methods like interviews, focus
groups, and observations to collect rich, descriptive data. They analyze this
data thematically to uncover patterns, meanings, and insights into people's
experiences.

10. Kindness and well-being

Kindness isn't just about being nice, it's a two-way street for happiness. Helping others
triggers feel-good chemicals in your brain, like dopamine and serotonin, boosting your
mood and reducing stress. Kindness also fosters connection, reducing feelings of isolation
and loneliness. It's a win-win for both you and those you help, creating a ripple effect of
positivity.

11.Grotberg’s paradigm of resilience

Grotberg's resilience model is like a 3-legged stool. "I Have" is external support (think safe
environment, caring people). "I Am" is your inner strength (confidence, problem-solving). "I
Can" is your coping toolbox (skills to manage stress). Building all three helps you bounce
back from challenges.

12. Psychological capital

Psychological capital refers to your mental resources that fuel your ability to thrive
and achieve your goals. It's like a personal treasure chest filled with four key
qualities:

 Self-efficacy: Confidence in your skills and abilities to succeed.

 Optimism: A positive outlook that things will work out well.
 Hope: The belief that you can find pathways to achieve your goals, even
when faced with obstacles.
 Resilience: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges.
13. General Adaptation Syndrome model of stress

The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) model describes the body's three stages
in response to stress:

1. Alarm Stage (Fight-or-Flight): This is your body's initial reaction to stress.

Your nervous system kicks in, releasing hormones like adrenaline and
cortisol.

2. Resistance Stage: If the stressor persists, your body enters a resistance

stage. It tries to adapt and maintain a higher level of functioning to deal with
the ongoing stress

3. Exhaustion Stage: If the stress isn't managed, chronic exposure depletes

your body's resources. You become vulnerable to physical and mental health
problems like anxiety, depression, illness, and burnout.

14. Post-traumatic growth

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is the positive psychological change that emerges after facing
a highly stressful or traumatic event. It's not about denying the hardship, but rather
acknowledging how it can lead to unexpected transformations. Imagine a flower pushing
through cracked pavement – the trauma is the crack, but the growth is the beautiful flower.

15. Ashtanga yoga

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is the positive psychological change that emerges after
facing a highly stressful or traumatic event. It's not about denying the hardship, but
rather acknowledging how it can lead to unexpected transformations. Imagine a
flower pushing through cracked pavement – the trauma is the crack, but the growth
is the beautiful flower.

16.Positive visualization

Positive visualization is a mental technique where you create a vivid picture in your mind of a
desired outcome. It's like mentally rehearsing a success story. Imagine yourself achieving
your goal, feeling the emotions of accomplishment, and experiencing the positive results. By
engaging your senses and emotions, you create a powerful mental blueprint that can boost
your motivation, confidence, and performance.

17.Cognitive restructuring

Cognitive restructuring helps you challenge negative thinking. Imagine finding distorted
glasses you see the world through. You catch yourself in negative self-talk, like labeling
yourself a failure. Then, you question these thoughts. Are they true? Is there another way to
see the situation? Finally, you replace negativity with a more balanced view. This shift in
thinking can improve your mood, reduce stress, and boost your well-being. It's like retraining
your brain for a more positive outlook.
18. Panchakosha model of well-being

The Panchakosha model, rooted in ancient Indian wisdom, views us as having five
interconnected layers, or "koshas," that contribute to our overall well-being. Imagine
these layers like nested Russian dolls.

 Annamaya Kosha (Physical Body): The outermost layer, focusing on

physical health through nourishment and movement.
 Pranamaya Kosha (Vital Energy Body): Governs our energy levels and life
force, influenced by breath and mindful practices.
 Manomaya Kosha (Mental Body): Encompasses thoughts, emotions, and
the mind.
 Vijnanamaya Kosha (Wisdom Body): Relates to our intellect, discrimination,
and sense of self.
 Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss Body): The innermost layer, representing our
deepest potential for joy and spiritual connection.
