National cultural differences pose major obstacles to global business expansion. Managers, therefore, seek to learn more about cultures. Conventional managerial learning mostly draws from descriptive scientific models which have potential drawbacks such as unidimensionality, decontextualisation, and culture-level information. Explanatory models of cultural psychology can help overcome these limitations. Further, insights from a cross-culturally fluent authority provide reflective learnings. Toward this end, I engage in a conversation with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the Art of Living organization, on issues related to cultural identity in the global workplace in the Indian context.

Objective: Theories about how couples help each other to cope with stress, such as the systemic transactional model of dyadic coping, suggest that the cultural context in which couples live influences how their coping behavior affects their relationship satisfaction. In contrast to the theoretical assumptions, a recent meta-analysis provides evidence that neither culture, nor gender, influences the association between dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction, at least based on their samples of couples living in North America and West Europe. Thus, it is an open questions whether the theoretical assumptions of cultural influences are false or whether cultural influences on couple behavior just occur in cultures outside of the Western world. Method: In order to examine the cultural influence, using a sample of married individuals (N = 7,973) from 35 nations, we used multilevel modeling to test whether the positive association between dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction varies across nations and whether gender might moderate the association. Results: Results reveal that the association between dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction varies between nations. In addition, results show that in some nations the association is higher for men and in other nations it is higher for women. Conclusions: Cultural and gender differences across the globe influence how couples’ coping behavior affects relationship outcomes. This crucial finding indicates that couple relationship education programs and interventions need to be culturally adapted, as skill trainings such as dyadic coping lead to differential effects on relationship satisfaction based on the culture in which couples live.

The current investigation, which was founded on the premise of a child participation perspective, investigated "childrens constructions, the meanings they attached to natural places, and the impact these meanings had on the children's subjective well-being". Specifically, the investigation focused on the relationship between children's constructions of natural places and their feelings of wellbeing. UNICEF's Child-Friendly School Program is an intervention that was made at UNICEF as part of a comprehensive effort to realise higher quality education by taking into consideration the three most fundamental children's rights, namely participation, provision, and protection. This effort was made to realise higher quality education by considering UNICEF's Child-Friendly School Program is an intervention that was made at UNICEF as part of When UNICEF was working to improve educational opportunities for children around the world through its Child-Friendly School Program, these rights were one of the factors that were taken into account. In reference to the factors that have a role in the overall enjoyment that students derive from their time spent in the classroom. Parents, teachers, and supervisors each have a vital part to play in the development of persons who are happy and healthy, and all three of these positions are necessary to the process. If we believe that happiness is something that can be taught, then people who are responsible for the raising of children, beginning with their first year of school, will have an additional responsibility on their shoulders. In addition to the factors that play a role in determining one's level of happiness, this also plays a role. Our research aims to provide recommendations that can be implemented to improve the levels of happiness among students by identifying the factors that have an impact on those levels among students whose academic levels range from sixth to fifteenth years. These recommendations will be based on data collected from students whose academic levels range from sixth to fifteenth years. The process of planning for each metropolitan area should now begin with an important phase that involves consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders. Even when the issues are pertinent to children, the opinions and suggestions of adults are typically given more weight and consideration than those of children. This is standard practise. This is true even when the issues at hand are those that have a direct bearing on "children. Children are an integral component of the modern world", which is quickly urbanising, and they are also some of the consumers who are the most sensitive to and affected by the changes brought about by this new environment. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognises as fundamental rights the provision of children, the protection of children, and the participation of children in all aspects of society. Participation is the third, and possibly most crucial, aspect of making the environment healthier; nonetheless, this dimension has been generally disregarded... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
