Psychological Resilience of Secondary School Teachers with Respect to the Gender

Psychological resilience is an individual's ability to successfully adapt to life tasks in the face of social disadvantage or highly adverse conditions. It is one's ability to bounce back from a negative experience with competent functioning. As teaching is a profession and it needs skills and competency, psychological resilience for teachers is a must. A teacher needs to be active, and he/she should act according to the demands of the circumstances. A teacher has to face many adverse situations and to find effective solutions; only a resilient teacher can deal with these situations.
