Abstract
The relationship between secondary school students’ self-efficacy and resilience was studied in the Faisalabad District. The study sample was drawn from both genders, and in urban and rural locales. Translated versions of scales were used to measure students ‘self-efficacy and resilience. Four hundred students responded to the questionnaires during the researcher’s visits to sample schools. The results of the study show that students had high levels of self-efficacy beliefs and resilience. Gender differences were also observed in the analysis. No significant difference was observed in self-efficacy level of urban and rural students. A strong positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and resilience in the study. Future research can be conducted using mixed method or longitudinal studies.
