Purposive convenient sampling was used to select the 225 participants between the ages 12-19 years. The participants were selected from private and government institutes in Karachi city. Emotional and behavioral problems were measured through indigenously developed scale School Children Problem Scale SCPS (Saleem & Mahmood, 2011), whereas Delinquent tendencies were assessed using the Self-Report Delinquency Scale SRDS (Irum Naqvi & Anila Kamal, 2008).
