Reading is one of the essential components of good study habits. For a student belonging to any grade academic success has a strong correlation with reading. An effective reader is someone who is actively engaged and is responsible for understanding and comprehending the idea expressed in the text. Reading not only helps in academic success but also aids in developing critical thinking and problem solving ability. Unfortunately reading ability among students is somewhere lost amidst the digital world. Therefore in order to see the impact of reading ability on study habits of high school students we conducted a study on 226 eighth grade students. 122 of them belong to state board syllabus, 56 from CBSE and 48 from ICSE syllabus. We administered study habit inventory (Palsane and sharma, 1989) for all the students before and after intervention. The intervention included 16 sessions of 15 minutes each for the experimental group, of 76 students (34 from state syllabus, 22 from CBSE and 20 from ICSE) 5 days a week. We recorded the time taken by each student to read a list of 30 English words (selected from prescribed text books for English, social science and science).we noted the no, of trials and time taken for each trial during 15 minutes per student. The statistical analysis using ANOVA indicates a significant increase in study habit score as a result of intervention for the experimental group.

Background: Although self-expressive creativity is related to cyberbullying, it can also reinforce strengths that contribute to positive adolescent development. Our study concentrated on the relationships between personality traits and self-expressive creativity in the digital domain in an adolescent population. For this, we analyzed the effect of self-esteem and emotional intelligence as assets for positive development related to personality traits and self-expressive creativity. Methods: The study population included a total of 742 adolescents that were high-school students in the province of Almería, Spain. The following instruments were used: Big Five Inventory (BFI) to evaluate the five broad personality factors, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), Expression, Management, and Emotion Recognition Evaluation Scale (TMMS-24), and the Creative Behavior Questionnaire: Digital (CBQD). Results: The cluster analysis revealed the existence of two profiles of adolescents based on their personality traits. The analysis showed that the group with the highest levels of extraversion and openness to experience and lowest levels of neuroticism were those who showed the highest scores in self-esteem, clarity, and emotional repair, as well as in self-expressive creativity. Higher scores in neuroticism and lower scores in extraversion and openness to experience showed a direct negative effect on self-expressive creativity and indirect effect through self-esteem and emotional attention, which acted as mediators in series. Conclusions: To counteract certain characteristics that increase adolescents’ vulnerability to social network bullying, a plan must be developed for adequate positive use of the Internet from a creative model that enables digital self-expression for acquiring identity and self-efficacy through the positive influence of peers, which promotes feelings of empowerment and self-affirmation through constructive tasks that reinforce self-esteem and emotional intelligence.
