Geemol John is a doctoral researcher in psychology at Lovely Professional University, whose work bridges academic theory and applied counselling, focusing on midlife transitions, resilience, and psychological well-being. With a robust portfolio of peer-reviewed publications — including the development of a psychometrically sound Midlife Crisis Questionnaire (MLC-Q) using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis — he has established himself as a significant contributor in his field. His research also addresses the psychological impact of mobile addiction on adolescents and diagnostic accuracy through critical thinking in assessment. His book chapters—on mobile addiction, dissertation motivation, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy—reflect his commitment to translating evidence-based research into practical interventions. Another notable contribution is a manual for assessing family dynamics via the Family Environment Scale. Geemol brings to his scholarship a strong educational foundation in psychology (MA), counseling, and psychometrics, complemented by lived experience in teaching and counselling across schools. He has been recognized for best paper at international conferences. His research interests lie at the intersection of midlife crisis, resilience, family systems, and technology-related stress. With his work already cited in academic forums, he seeks to further promote mental health awareness, particularly how meaning-making evolves in adulthood.
