ABSTRACT

Adulthood is a period in which a person might face lot of ups and downs in life. There is no set road in life, hence there might be times when person has to deal with a bit challenging situation. Yet people are able to adapt to such stressful situations and these individuals can be considered as resilient. Other factors responsible to help a person bounce back from a tumultuous situation can be social support and self-efficacy. Hence the current research has been carried out to understand the relationship among social support, self-efficacy and resilience in Indian adults. For this purpose, 140 adults of age 20-50 years were randomly selected and were told to fill three online questionnaires (Multidimensional scale of perceived social support, MSPSS; General Self-efficacy Scale, GSE; and Brief Resiliency Scale, BRS). Social support, self-efficacy and resilience are imperative to maintain sound health of a person. It can be concluded from the data collected from the population of Indian adults that there is a positive correlation between social support & self-efficacy and self-efficacy & resilience. Whereas correlation between social support and resilience is insignificant. Therefore, further research can be done in this area to show how a positive relationship between these variables can have an impact on stress level and treatment of an individual in medical and mental health programs and to improve working climate of organisations.
