my mother, my father Mr. Dalshukhram P. Shukla has always stood by me and
boostered my confidence in whatever I have done in my life. He also took a very
keen interest in this research work and puffed up my morale whenever I needed.
I feel greatly indebted to each of my family members who have adjusted
themselves in order to facilitate me during my study and have contributed in their
own way to complete this study.
It is high time for me to acknowledge my deep gratitude towards Late Dr.
Deepak Bhatt, Department of Psychology, Vidyanagar who initiated me to
indulge in this ‘unprofitable business’ as higher studies are usually called. Even
though he is not among us today, his invisible presence and encouraging words
have worked for me as a Light House throughout this journey.
Only when you have an elderly sister like Mrs. Daxaben T. Shah that you
realize the proverbial truth of what ‘a friend, philosopher and guide’ really stands
for. He support and contribution in completion of this study is very vital and
unforgettable.
I would like to thank Tejas Panchal and Satvinder Banvet for data
processing and printing with the computer. They are always ready, even at the
cost of their studies, to do my work. I am immensely indebted to the samples
without whose co-operation this study would not have been completed.
