Impact of gender and type of institution on resilience of higher secondary school students

An attempt is made in the present study to find out the resilience of Higher Secondary School students based on their gender and type of management. A sample of four hundred Higher Secondary School students selected randomly from Government, Aided and Unaided schools in Kollam District were the subject of present study. The resilience scale is developed and standardized by the investigator to measure and quantify the resilience score of Higher Secondary School students. Results revealed that there is significant difference in the Resilience score of Higher Secondary School students on the basis of gender and the type of institution they are engaged. Both gender and Type of Institution are independently creating an impact on the resilience of students but a combined effect of both could not be established.
