ABSTRACT
A person’s desire to achieve greatness is known as achievement motivation. Parents, other role models, and socio-cultural influences are among the sources from which they learn it. People with high achievement motivation choose somewhat demanding and challenging tasks. The ability to bounce back rapidly from adversity, often known as tenacity, is referred to as resilience. The present study aimed at finding achievement motivation and resilience among institutionalized and non-institutionalized adolescents. A sample of 120 adolescents (60 institutionalized and 60 non-institutionalized adolescents) is selected for the study. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale by Kathryn M. Connor and Jonathan R.T. Davidson (2003) and achievement motivation inventory by Muthee J.M. and Emmanuel Thomas (2009) were used for data collection. Correlation was done to know the relationship between achievement motivation and resilience. T-test was applied to check whether there is any significant difference in both achievement motivation and resilience among institutionalized and non-institutionalized adolescents. Result revealed that, there is no significant correlation between achievement motivation and resilience among adolescents and also there is no significant difference in achievement motivation among institutionalized and non-institutionalized adolescents. From the study, it is found that resilience is higher in institutionalized adolescents than non-institutionalized adolescents.
