dc.description.abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether there was any relation among optimism, self-efficacy and self-regulation. The study also tried to find out the gender difference in optimism, self-efficacy and self-regulation. The data was collected on a sample of 260 young adults (130 males and 130 females) accompanied by a process of purposive and convenience sampling technique. Bangla version of Revised Life Orientation Test, Bangla version of General Self-Efficacy Scale and Bangla version of Self-Regulation Questionnaires were used to assess study variables. Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Independent Sample t-test and Simple Linear Regression were used for the collected data analysis. Correlation analysis showed significant and positive association among optimism self-efficacy and self-regulation. Independent sample t test revealed that there is no significant difference in optimism between male and female but there is a significant difference between male and female in self-efficacy and self-regulation. It was found that male respondents have more self-efficacy and self-regulation than that of their female counterpart. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that 8% of the variance of self-efficacy and 12.8% of the variance of self-regulation was explained by optimism. The findings have implications for parents and guardians, teachers, educators, mental health professionals and policy makers. en_US
