The dynamics between students and teachers, at their psychological level, are essential to successful learning and affect the health and capacity of both teachers and students. The significance of learning outcomes beyond curriculum design and mentorship is increasingly being acknowledged in educational institutions. Relational aspects between the educator and student positively affect students' motivation, confidence, resilience, and personal development. Favourable relationships between student(s) and teacher(s) promote trust, belongingness and safety, which allow students to participate in cognitive, social, emotional and regular learning activities with a teacher. On the other hand, negative interactions can result in stress, anxiety, disengagement and lower academic achievement. This research paper discusses the psychological aspects of teacher-student relationships and looks at the ways these relationships affect student mental health and abilities. The paper is a synthesis of research that has been conducted on emotional support, communication patterns, empathy shown by the teacher, student engagement, and impact on learning. It also examines the ways in which positive educational conditions help build critical thinking and problem-solving skills, communication skills, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence. The results indicate that the role played by educators extends beyond teaching to mentoring, modelling, and psychological development. Good relationships foster positive environments: students feel valued, respected, and motivated to reach their potential. Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that promoting educator-student psychological relations must be regarded as a priority for an educational system that will help provide all-around student development and lasting well-being.

The growth of social commerce has changed how consumers discover products, evaluate alternatives, and make purchasing decisions. This study examined the growing role of Instagram stores and social media influencers in consumer buying behaviour. The particular attention has given to their relationship with traditional retail. The study used primary collected data from 106 respondents. For the analysis Pearson’s Chi-Square Test of Independence and Cramer’s V has applied. The study examined the associations among Instagram usage, previous purchase experience, perceived risk, trust in influencer recommendations, preferred shopping channels, and influencer-related purchasing behaviour. The findings showed that Instagram usage frequency is not significantly associated with purchasing from Instagram stores. However, previous experience with Instagram-store purchases and perceived risk were significantly related to consumers’ preferred shopping channels. Trust in influencer recommendations was found moderately associated with influencer-related purchasing behaviour, while the perceived level of influencer influence showed a strong association with purchase behaviour. In contrast, trust in influencers did not significantly determine whether consumers view them as intermediaries between brands and consumers. The findings also indicated that traditional retail continues to retain consumer preference because of concerns surrounding product quality, fraud, delivery, and return policies. Overall, Instagram influencers appeared to complement rather than replace traditional retail in the consumer decision-making process.
