Substantial research on problem drinking has identified determinants ranging from the biological to the socioculturel. From a social learning theory perspective, drinking represents purposive behaviour (Jessor, 1987). Based on this framework, the psychosocial literature generally indicates two distinct motivational pathways. One of these paths is social, drinking to socialize or avoid social rejection (Celantino & McQueen, 1978; Cox & Klinger, 1988; Read, Wood, Kahler, Maddock, & Palfai, 2003; Smith, Abbey, & Scott, 1993). Although the notion of "social drinking" in common parlance suggests innocuous conviviality, the literature on problem drinking shows the powerful influence of the peer group on high-risk drinking (e.g., Andrews, Tildesley, Hops, & Li, 2002; Wood, ...

This study draws on the Theory of Planned Behaviour to examine the role of gender in the decision to be mentored. Contrary to expectations, men and women employ similar decision criteria in the decision to seek a mentor. The primary driver for seeking a mentor was to obtain psychosocial support, including personal support, acceptance, having a confidant, being trusted and friendship. Men were more likely than women to seek a mentor when they valued increased autonomy. The implications of the findings for protégés, mentors and career development professionals are noted.

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...
