| Abstract | The current research examines gender differences in the self esteem and happiness of university students. A sample of 120 students (60 males and 60 females) was drawn from the various departments of university of Sargodha within the age range of 18-26 years. Convenience sampling technique was used. Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1985) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Hills and Argyle, 2001) were individually administered to the participants. The results suggested that the male students reported significantly higher level of self esteem as compared to the female university students (t = 3.78, df = 117, ***p < .001). Moreover, the results suggested insignificant differences in male and female student in level of happiness (t = 404, df = 117, p > .05). Furthermore, significant positive relationship was found between happiness and self esteem of students (r = .22*). These findings have implications for helping teachers and parents. |
