ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to compare the proactive coping and subjective well-being among tribal and non-tribal adolescents. A total of 110adolescents (55 tribal and 55 non-tribal) selected from the central peat of Kerala participated in the study. The Proactive Coping Inventory developed by Greenglass, Schwarzer, & Taubert (1999) and the Subjective Well- Being Scale was developed by Dr H. Sell and Dr R. Nagpal (1985) were administered to assess proactive coping and subjective well- being, respectively. The data were analyzed using man Whitney u test and spearman rank correlation. The results revealed that non-tribal adolescents reported significantly higher levels of proactive coping and subjective well-being than tribal adolescents. Furthermore, proactive coping was found to be positively related with subjective well-being in tribal and not related with non-tribal adolescents. The findings suggest that proactive coping is an important factor that contributes to subjective well-being among both tribal and non-tribal adolescents. The study highlights the need for interventions that promote proactive coping strategies among adolescents, particularly among those from marginalized communities like tribal populations. Such interventions may help improve their overall well- being and resilience in the face of challenges and adversity.
