Abstract

This study aims to explore the level of resilience among Indian cishet adults (also simply called ‘straight’ persons), and relate the same to certain demographic identifiers. More than hundred sample data for resilience were collected using CD-RISC-10 questionnaires through online form. Correlation analysis and t-tests were done on the data. The results indicated that only 3% of the respondents had low resilience, 56% had medium resilience, 41% had high resilience. Further, resilience was found to be positively correlated with age and was found to be lower in women. We thus concluded that younger Indians and Indian women seem to have lower resilience and therefore, mental healthcare programs should take these populations as focal for interventions.
