Abstract

It was hypothesized that there is a relationship between resilience and personality and familial profiles. It was further hypothesized that there is gender and age difference in resilience. The sample was consisted of 80 subjects (N=80) of age range 20-40 years, including 40 males and 40 females from different departments of Punjab University. In order to collect the data, convenient sampling technique was used. The data was collected by using Resilience state-trait scale, 16PF (form c), and family support scale. Independent sample t-test, Pearson product moment correlation and cross tabulation used for analysis. The findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between resilience and personality and familial profiles. The results also showed that there is no gender and age difference in resilience. So the results did not support the hypothesis.
