Abstract

Psychosocial competence is considered as a combination of three dimensions of effective coping i.e. self-attitude, positive self-world attitude and realistic active coping style. In the present study psychosocial competence of 300 adolescents viz. type of family , working status of mother , number of siblings  and locale was studied through the psychosocial competence scale developed by the researcher having three dimensions i.e. self-efficacy, interpersonal trust and active coping. The collected data was analysed by calculating t ratio and p value and the results indicates that working status of mother, type of family and locale  effected the psychosocial competence of the adolescents whereas there exists no significant difference in the psychosocial competence of adolescents having siblings or no siblings.
