Abstract: This study investigates the role of eudaimonic factors such as ‘quiet ego’ and ‘non-attachment’ in fostering resilience among young adults in urban India, examining the interplay of these constructs with gender, social media usage, and psychological profiles. Utilizing a sample of 200 participants aged 20-25 from urban India, this study employed the ‘Quiet Ego Scale,’ ‘Non-attachment Scale,’ and ‘Resilience Scale.’ Data were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA on R-Jamovi. The findings indicate significant gender differences, with males exhibiting higher scores in non-attachment and resilience than females. Additionally, participants with lower to moderate social media usage (1-2 hours per day) displayed greater resilience compared to heavy users (more than 3 hours/day). These results underscore the need for understanding the factors that predict resilience, as gender and social media habits significantly influence resilience in young adults. This understanding can inform the development of targeted interventions and support systems that cater to diverse groups based on their unique psychological needs and social habits. For instance, interventions could be designed to help individuals, particularly females and heavy social media users, develop a ‘quiet ego’ and ‘non-attachment’ mindset, thereby enhancing their resilience.
