The adolescent period is a time of discovery of self and one’s relationship to the world around him or her. Therefore, it gives importance to assess how the self disclosure affects the adolescent’s life. The major objective of the study was to explore the influence of self disclosure on adolescent’s resilience capacity. The study also explores gender difference in self disclosure and resilience. The variables under the study were self disclosure, resilience, emotional regulation, impulse control, causal analysis, self-efficacy, Realistic optimism, empathy, and reaching out. The participants of the present study include 400 adolescents within the age range of 12 to 20 years. The investigator used the simple random sampling method for the selection of sample. For collecting the data the set of tools were given in order of personal information schedule, Self-disclosure scale (Sabeena & Jisha, 2012), and resilience scale (Sripriya & Ajilal, 2009). The statistical methods used in the study were correlation analysis and t-test. The result revealed that most of the study variables are positively inter-correlated with each other and adolescent girls disclose more than adolescent boys but males have high stress coping ability than females.

Self disclosure, Resilience, Emotional regulation, Impulse control, Causal analysis, self-efficacy, Realistic optimism, Empathy, and Reaching out.
