ABSTRACT
Mental health difficulties in adolescence have an eternal impact, that does not only affect later adult mental health, but also impacts physical wellbeing, educational accomplishment, and workforce participation and contentment.¾ of mental health problems start before the early 20s (Kessler et al, 2014). The stage of adolescence, the most important stage in human development is different from other developmental stages marked by challenges and transitions. Self-regulation may be related to mental health as it may help in controlling and managing actions upsetting emotions and impulses. The present study aims to examine self-regulation as a predictor of mental health. The research methodology employed for the study is a correlational. 76 adolescents were selected through a simple random sampling method. Standardized tools were used to collect data. Data analysis included descriptive statistic like Mean and SD. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to analyze the data. Results indicated a significant coefficient correlation between self-regulation and mental health (0.63). Self-regulation’s sub dimensions were analyzed with mental health's sub dimensions.
