        abstract = {The present study aimed to examine ego strength, impulsiveness, and self-control among youth with reference to gender and area of residence. A simple random sampling method was employed to select a sample of 240 participants, comprising 120 males and 120 females. The sample was equally divided into rural and urban groups, with 60 rural males, 60 urban males, 60 rural females, and 60 urban females. Ego strength was measured using the Ego Strength Scale developed by Dr. Q. Hasan (1976), translated into Gujarati by Dr. Yogesh A. Jogsan(2015). Imulsiveness was assessed through the scale developed by Dr. S. N. Rai and Dr. Alka Sharma (1997), translated into Gujarati by Dr. Yogesh A. Jogsan and Dr. Dhara R. Doshi (2019). Self-control was measured using the scale developed by Arun Kumar Singh and A. S. Gupta (2008), translated into Gujarati by Dr. Yogesh A. Jogsan(2014). The data were analyzed using two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results revealed no significant differences in ego strength and impulsiveness with respect to gender, area, and their interaction. However, a significant gender difference was found in self-control at the 0.05 level, indicating that males and females differed significantly in self-control. No significant differences were observed in self-control with respect to area and gender–area interaction. Correlation analysis showed a low negative correlation between ego strength and impulsiveness, a low positive correlation between ego strength and self-control, and a low negative correlation between impulsiveness and self-control. The findings highlight the interrelationship among ego strength, impulsiveness, and self-control in youth and underscore the importance of gender differences in self-regulatory behavior.},
