Abstract:

Over the course of a lifetime, humans experience a wide range of physiological and psychological changes, including modifications to language, cognition, and psychosocial development in addition to influences from peers and family. Since every developmental stage serves a specific purpose in an individual's life, adolescence is acknowledged as a normal and significant stage of maturation during which adolescents experience a number of stressors and storms. However, despite experiencing significant adversity during their formative process, resilient people were able to preserve a healthy and reasonably steady psychological functioning. Examining the resilience levels of adolescents in rural and urban areas was the primary objective of the current study. 383 adolescents from Dharwad and Hyderabad region selected by random sampling technique. The results show that most adolescents in Dharwad and Hyderabad region had moderate levels of resilience. In Dharwad, adolescents living in rural areas had notably greater levels of sense of mastery, sense of relatedness, emotional reactivity, and overall resilience when compared to their urban counterparts. Similarly, sensory mastery, sense of relatedness, and general resilience were significantly greater among rural adolescents in Hyderabad region. Nonetheless, a notable distinction was observed in the resilience levels of adolescents residing in the Dharwad and Hyderabad region.
