1. ADVERSITY AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES IN CHILDREN: THE MODERATED MEDIATION MODEL OF PROTECTIVE FACTORS AND RESILIENCE
Authors: ANKITA GARG1* and SANTHA KUMARI2
Abstract
Several research studies have examined the relationship between adversity and behavioral outcomes. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research on this link in children, and the underlying process remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the impact of adversity on behavioral outcomes, specifically emotional awareness, and self-esteem, through the mediation of resilience and the moderation of protective factors, including well-being and hardiness. The model was estimated to have a sample of 250 children (125 Boys and 125 Girls) aged 9 to 12 years, selected from public and private schools in diverse districts of Punjab, India. The findings demonstrated that resilience mediates the connection between adversity and behavioral outcomes. Furthermore, well-being affected the association between adversity and resilience. This study provided substantial theoretical and practical insights for educators, parents, and counselors to foster resilience by incorporating protective factors in children.

Abstract
The present study examines the development over the period 1996 to 2025 in the literature related to corporate governance compliance and credit risk management in the banking sector. To perform a bibliometric analysis, this study captures major trends, landmark works, and fresh themes and topics, presenting a field distorted by financial crises, regulatory reforms, and technologies. This study further testifies to the evolution of compliance from structural to comprehensive risk management with an overarching nod to sustainability and digitization. Diverse plane exists state-wise; a considerable gap is in quantitative and qualitative research traditions besides disparate Northern and Southern scholarship. The study postulates the Governance-Risk-Technology (GRT) model, thereby inviting a cross-disciplinary approach and local governance framework wherever feasible for setting an ethical AI agenda. Findings place importance on the dominance of research around risk and governance frameworks and on gaps with additional support for behavioral corporate governance, ESG integration, and non Western perspectives. The outcomes would be important for both practical research, regulation, codification of things in policies and guidelines, and people who are practically involved in the banking structure in an environment where finance is assumed to be changing.
