The paper explores the impact of colours on retention, focusing on how different colour
conditions influence recall rate. While colour psychology has been extensively studied
in various contexts, its specific effects on retention, particularly in educational settings,
warrant further investigation. A Post-test only design was employed in which participants
were selected under three different conditions viz., Chromatic (Congruent and,
Incongruent) and Achromatic colour conditions. Emerging adults was taken as the
demographic group. The findings suggest that the Chromatic colour condition, particularly,
the Congruent colour condition has a significant effect on the retention rate of the
participants. These results have practical implications for educational setup, providing
insights into optimizing information retention through colour use. By understanding the
psychological effects of colour, educators can design smarter spaces that support and
enrich the educational experience which also aligns with the goals of the National
Education Policy (2020) of creating a conducive learning environment that fosters holistic
development among students

The present study was carried out to identify whether perceived parenting has a significant
relationship with the development of maladaptive schemas and whether perceived
parenting predicts the development of maladaptive schemas among adolescents. The
sample of the study consisted of 300 adolescents (male = 140 and female = 160) from
the state of Goa. The measures used for the purpose of the study were the Young
Parenting Inventory (YPI – R2) (2018) by Louis, J. P., Wood, A., & Lockwood, G. and the
Young Schema Questionnaire (1998) by Young & Brown. The statistical analyses applied
were Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Regression Analysis. The results of
the study indicated that there exists a significant positive correlation between perceived
parenting and the development of maladaptive schemas. The study also suggested that
perceived parenting significantly and positively predicted the development of maladaptive
schemas. Further, the implication of the study is discussed..
