The main purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and ego-resiliency among students with visual impairment and normal students. The data was collected from 220 participants of Aligarh city. SPSS (version 22) software program was used to analyse the data by computing descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation, linear regression, t-test and effect size. The findings provided evidence that self-efficacy was positively correlated to ego-resiliency; and self -efficacy is the significant positive predictor of ego-resiliency. These findings indicate the importance of self-efficacy beliefs in promoting ego-resiliency, thus, enabling individuals to withstand changing circumstances resourcefully. Thus, the findings of the present study suggest the development and implementation of intervention programs to enhance efficacious and resilient behaviour among individuals across societies.
