A Comparative Study of Self-Esteem and Resilience Among Orphanage and Non-Orphanage Adolescents

The purpose of this study was to examine the resilience and self-esteem levels of teenage orphans and non-orphans. There are 40 adolescents out of which 20 are orphans and the other 20 are non-orphans who were included in the sample to assess their resilience and self-esteem. The age range was between 12 and 18 years. The Prince-Embury resiliency scale for children and adolescents and the Prasad and Thakur self-esteem inventory were used to collect data. The t-test, mean, and standard deviation are used to examine the data. According to the findings of both qualitative and quantitative analyses, there is a discernible difference between orphaned and non-orphaned adolescents regarding resilience and self-esteem. According to the results, both orphaned and non-orphaned adolescents’ resilience and self-esteem are likely influenced by a variety of situational, internal, and external variables. The suggestions are followed by certain limitations that are also present in the following study.
