The present study aimed to identify correlated and predictive factors of resilient behaviors among urban and rural adolescents. Data was collected from both urban and rural government and private schools of West Jaintia hill district, Meghalaya. Analyses included 262 parents-adolescents dyad. Self administration scale i.e., resiliency scale for children and adolescents (RSCA) was use to assess their resilient behaviors. Results indicated that urban adolescents had higher sense of mastery and relatedness while rural adolescents had higher sense of emotional reactivity. Age, gender, parent’s education and occupation, socio-economic status was positively correlated with adolescents’ sense of mastery and relatedness except with sense of emotional reactivity. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that predictive factors accounted for significant variance (R2) and the variance was found significantly higher for rural adolescents’ resiliency outcomes (i.e., MAS, REL & REA, respectively) compared to urban adolescents’ resiliency outcomes.
