Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the difference in the levels of resilience and aggression between two developmental stages: adolescence and early adulthood, using comparative study design. Total 400 participants (Male n=200 Female n=200; Mage = 21.02; SD= 6.77) were approached through purposive convenient sampling. Participant’s demographic information was gathered through Respondent Information Form, while resilience and aggression were measured using The Brief Resilience Scale, and Short Form of the BussPerry Aggression Questionnaire, respectively. Analyses through independent samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in the level of both, resilience and aggression between adolescence and early adulthood. These findings would help in developing resilience enhancement and anger management programs for different age groups.
