In this study, the sample consisted of 250 university students enrolled in different government and private universities of Lahore, doing bachelors in any field with the age range 18 to 25. These participants were selected from different government and private universities of Lahore. Self-report measures including the demographic questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and Academic Self-Concept Scale (ASCS) were used to assess the study’s variables. T- test analysis demonstrated that there is no significant difference between self-esteem and academic self-concept among students with Cambridge and secondary school background. Moreover, this study revealed that there could be certain factors that effect the relationship between academic self-concept and self-esteem among students with Cambridge and secondary school background that can lead to no difference in self-esteem and academic self-concept between them. These factors may include individual attributes such as motivation, learning style, and personal resilience, as well as environmental factors like teacher support, classroom climate, and peer relationships. Understanding the role of these factors can provide valuable insights into why students from different educational backgrounds may exhibit similar levels of self-esteem and academic self- concept, highlighting the complexity of the relationship and the need for comprehensive support systems in promoting positive self-perception among all studentItem LONELINESS AND SELF-ESTEEM AS PREDICTOR OF SELFITIS BEHAVIOR AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Kinza Hameed; SP20-BPY-033; Dr. Mahira Ahmed; LHR TP 8867The study aimed to explore the correlation among loneliness, self-esteem, and selfitis.

It was hypothesized that there will be a significant correlation between study variables and objectified body consciousness and self-esteem will act as predictor of selfitis behavior. A sample of 233 women students aged 18-25 (M age = 21.51, SD =1.79) engaged in selfitis behavior, was selected through convenient sampling technique online from different universities of Lahore, Pakistan. Participants responded to demographic Information form, Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (McKinley, 1996), Selfitis Behavior (Balakrishnan, 2017) and selfesteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Analysis reveals that there is a significant relation between OBC and selfitis behavior, however, self-esteem was not found to be associated with both variables. Linear regression analysis revealed that OBC and age both are the predictors of selfitis behavior, however, OBC was found to be a stronger predictor of selfitis behavior. This study is unique in a way that it contributes to the society to better understand the objectified body consciousness in young adult women, and its influence to opt any obsessive behavior like selfitis.
