摘要

Adolescence is a critical development phase characterized by rapid biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional transitions. Within the Indian socio-cultural context, adolescents navigate heightened academic expectations, intergenerational aspirations, collectivist norms, and increasing digital exposure. This paper presents a narrative review of empirical and theoretical literature examining resilience among Indian adolescents, with comparative insights from cross-cultural research. A structured literature search was conducted across databases including SCOPUS, PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsychINFO, focusing on peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2026. Studies were selected based on relevance to adolescent resilience, socio-cultural influences, and contextual stressors in India.

The review synthesizes findings across individual, familial, educational, societal, and media-related domains to examine resilience both as an outcome of adaptive functioning and as a protective process that buffers stress. Evidence suggests that while Indian adolescents experience increased academic and social pressures, resilience is shaped through emotional regulation, self-efficacy, relational support, structured expectations, and culturally embedded coping mechanisms. The paper highlights resilience as a dynamic, context-sensitive process rather than a fixed trait and identifies significant gaps in culturally grounded research. Implications for families, schools, and policy systems have been discussed.
