Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the relationships between mindset factors—such as optimism, resilience, gratitude, flexibility, and curiosity—and self-esteem among Indian youth, with a focus on students. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study investigates the prevalence of mindset attributes and their associations with self-esteem indicators, while also exploring the influence of demographic variables on these relationships. Findings reveal strong positive correlations between mindset factors and self-esteem, underscoring the importance of fostering a positive mindset characterized by optimism and resilience for promoting self-esteem among Indian youth. Moreover, demographic characteristics such as age, gender, educational level, family structure, socioeconomic status, and geographic location were found to influence these relationships, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive approaches to youth development. Overall, the study contributes to our understanding of youth well-being in the Indian context and informs evidence-based interventions aimed at fostering resilience and promoting positive self-esteem among Indian youngsters.
