Self-Esteem And Impulsivity In Adolescents Affected By Violence In Kashmir: Moderating Role Of Gender

Abstract

Researchers in a variety of areas have linked adolescent violence to low self-esteem. Adolescents in India's Kashmir region have been negatively impacted by the ongoing violence. The current study's conceptual framework therefore postulates, with gender as a moderator in a relationship between self-esteem and impulsivity among Kashmiri adolescents. Quantitative and causal approaches were used in this investigation. Overall, 403 questions were used in this investigation because they were useful in some way. The youth of the Kashmir area of the J&K Union Territory were asked to fill out a survey that was dispersed around the region's several districts. The path analysis results show that all three dimensions of impulsivity and self-esteem have a significant negative association. Gender also moderates the association between impulsivity and self-esteem. ANOVA results also show interesting findings. This work has many implications for scholars and practitioners.
