Predictors of Well-Being Among College Going Adolescents

Abstract

The increasing burden of anxiety related mental health problems among Indian adolescents can largely be attributed to ignorance about the indicators of poor mental health. Transition to college during late adolescence presents a unique set of life challenges that need to be recognised and dealt with. However, most contemporary Indian research studies are centredon psychological pathologies and their developmental trajectoriesand as such exclusive focus on positive mental health and enhancement of well-being is largely missing from the Indian research scene.
