A STUDY ON CORRELATION BETWEEN SELF-CONCEPT AND MENTAL WELL BEING AMONG HIGHER SECONDARY STUDENTS

Abstract

In the present study examined the relationship between Self-Concept and Mental Well being among higher secondary school students, considering background variables. Descriptive survey methods were employed and samples of 350 higher secondary students were selected using stratified random sampling. Standardized scales were used to measure Self-Concept and Mental Well being. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques. The results revealed that significant positive correlation were found between Self-Concept and Mental Well being, indicating that a more positive self-concept is strongly associated with better mental well being among higher secondary students.
