This study investigates the impact of gender and physical condition on emotional
intelligence and resilience among adolescents. A total of 240 participants, comprising
120 boys and 120 girls, and 120 adolescents with locomotor disability and 120 nonchallenged adolescents were selected from schools in Varanasi. Emotional intelligence
was assessed using the Multidimensional Self-Report Emotional Intelligence ScaleRevised (MSREIS-R) developed by Pandey and Anand (2008) and resilience was
measured with the Resilience Scale (R14) developed by Singh and Singh (2021). The
data were analysed using 2X2 ANOVA, the results revealed that gender did not
significantly affect emotional intelligence and resilience. However, adolescents with
locomotor disability showed significantly lower levels of both emotional intelligence
and resilience compared to non-challenged adolescents. These findings suggest that
while gender does not influence these attributes, physical condition does, indicating a
need for targeted interventions to support adolescents with disability. The study highlights
the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by these adolescents to
promote equitable emotional and psychological development.

The present study was carried out to identify whether perceived parenting has a significant
relationship with the development of maladaptive schemas and whether perceived
parenting predicts the development of maladaptive schemas among adolescents. The
sample of the study consisted of 300 adolescents (male = 140 and female = 160) from
the state of Goa. The measures used for the purpose of the study were the Young
Parenting Inventory (YPI – R2) (2018) by Louis, J. P., Wood, A., & Lockwood, G. and the
Young Schema Questionnaire (1998) by Young & Brown. The statistical analyses applied
were Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Regression Analysis. The results of
the study indicated that there exists a significant positive correlation between perceived
parenting and the development of maladaptive schemas. The study also suggested that
perceived parenting significantly and positively predicted the development of maladaptive
schemas. Further, the implication of the study is discussed..
