K. C. Barmola

Abstract :

Present study is intended to find out the gender differences (with various dimensions of the scale) among adolescents in terms of positive psychological capital. A sample of 100 adolescent has been selected randomly from a public school Jaipur, (Rajasthan: India) in which 50 are male and 50 are female. Significance of the difference is used to find the gender difference statistically. Findings of the present study say that overall there is no significant gender difference is found among adolescents in terms of positive psychological capital. Having four dimensions (hope, self–efficacy, optimism and resiliency) of the test, each of them is analyzed separately. In the comparison of dimensions no gender difference is found on self–efficacy, optimism and resiliency but it is found significant on hope (t=2.77) at 0.01 level. Therefore it may be estimated that there can be gender difference only in terms of hope among adolescents but not in other dimensions.
