The needs and experiences of marginalised groups like the transgender individuals are
often disregarded in psychological research. Resilience and Coping Strategies play
pivotal roles in an individual’s life. These are essential human abilities that help people
deal with stressful situations. These abilities allow people to adapt and thrive in the
face of adversity. The objective of this study was to compare the resilience and coping
styles between transgender and cisgender individuals. This research comprises 30
participants, 15 transgender and 15 cisgender individuals from various sections of
society. The sample was selected through a convenient sampling technique. Resilience
of the sample was assessed with the help of Psychological Resilience Scale (PRSKYAC) developed by Chandra Kumari and Akriti Yadav and Coping strategies of the
sample were assessed with the help of Coping Strategies Scale developed by Shrivastav.
The statistical method of median test was employed to compute results for deriving the
conclusions regarding the significance of the difference between the variables undertaken
for analysis
