Correlational study was conducted with sample size of n=250 both male (n=139) and female (111) from COMSATS university Islamabad Lahore campus. The data was collected by using convenient sampling. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between emotional intelligence, resilience and mental health problems (stress, anxiety and depression) of university students. It was also hypothesized that emotional intelligence and resilience are likely to predict mental health problems of university students. 3 scales were used in the study Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (Kirk, Schutte, & Hine, 2008), Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (Davies, Lane, Devonport & Scott 2010) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to find out the relationship between emotional intelligence , resilience and mental health problems among university students. Moreover, Hierarchical Regression was used to evaluate that mental health problems are predicted by emotional intelligence and resilience. The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between emotional intelligence, resilience and mental health problems. The results elaborates that if the emotional intelligence score is higher the student have less mental health problem and is resilient. The results also shows that when resilience is low mental health problems are more predicted. The study implies that more work can be done on students to make them more emotional stable and resilient to cope with hard situations and bounce back to the ordinary.Item Maternal Abuse, Mental Health Problems and Academic Performance in Adolescents of Single Mother and Both Parents(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2018) Faiza Salabat; SP15-BPY-007; DR.
