Abstract
Resilience is the capacity to bounce back from adversity. Protective factors increase resilience, whereas risk factors increase vulnerability. The present study examined socio-economic status effect on resiliency and vulnerability of children in late childhood. The sample consisted of 310 children i.e., 145 from Dharwad, Karnataka and 165 from Tura, Meghalaya regions. The samples were drawn by sociometric technique. Child's resiliency was assessed by using Embury's (2006) scale, whereas socio-economic status was measured by using socio-economic status scale by Aggarwal et al. (2005). Results revealed positive significant correlation between resiliency and socio-economic status. Further, children from low socioeconomic status were found to be vulnerable than high and medium level of socio-economic status children.
