The present study aimed to explore the interplay of self-efficacy, optimism and resilience
in promoting academic achievement of high school students in Manipur. The study
assessed how these positive psychological traits impact the psychological well-being
and academic success despite socio-educational challenges caused by ethnopolitical
instability. The sample consisted of 50 high school students from Manipur in the age
range of 13-16 years of age. The study employed a cross-sectional design and the
data was collected with the help of General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), Revised Life
Orientation Test (LOT-R), Child & Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R) and
Psychological Well-Being Scale (42 items). The results revealed a significant positive
relationship of self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience with psychological well-being and
a non-significant relationship with the academic performance. The study highlights the
critical role of self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience in shaping the psychological well
being of high school students in a conflict-ridden region. The findings emphasize the
need for holistic educational policies that not only foster positive psychological traits
but also create stable learning environments. Future research should explore additional
factors influencing academic success to develop targeted interventions for students in
challenging contexts.
