Besides that, aspect of differences among gender in dealing with a particular negative life event is also taken into consideration in this study. The research was qualitative study and semi-structured interview questions were used. The number of informants involved in this study were ten, 5 male and 5 female respectively. All respondents were interviewed based on the research questions formed earlier of this study. The age of respondents basically revolves around 21-25 as only young adults were selectively chosen. The data collected from the interview was analysed based on the thematic analysis.

The findings from this research would be useful for future research to further enhance the study on impact of negative life events in much varied demographic profile and larger sample size.
