Impact of Adversity Quotient on Learning Behaviour among Secondary School Students

This study was conducted to fnd the impact of adversity quotient of secondary school students on their learning behaviour. Descriptive survey method was used to realize the objectives: to fnd the gender and locality related difference in adversity quotient and learning behaviour among secondary school students; to study the relationship between adversity quotient and learning behaviour among secondary school students; to study the impact of adversity quotient on learning behaviour among secondary school students. A sample of 339 secondary school students was collected using stratifed random sampling by administering Learning Behaviour Scale (2014) and Adversity Quotient Profle (2015). Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, SD, t-test, coeffcient of correlation and regression analysis. The results of the study revealed that female secondary school students possess greater adversity quotient and exhibit better learning behaviour than male secondary school students. Rural secondary school students possess greater adversity quotient and exhibit better learning behaviour than urban secondary school students. A signifcant positive relationship was found between learning behaviour and adversity quotient of secondary school students. Adversity quotient was found to be a signifcant predictor of learning behaviour of secondary school students.
