Abstract

The ultimate goal of all human endeavors rests upon one’s quality of life. It refers to the essence of a “good” life. It begins with experience, moves on to appearance and ends with mind dependent reality. Thus self evaluation appears to be a major component in predicting quality of life. Though it is the most important yet least researched issue. So the present study is an attempt to explore the potency of self evaluation in terms of self efficacy and self esteem in predicting quality of life among youth. A purposive sample of 300 students of both sex males and females, aged 18-22 years were taken from various colleges of rural as well as urban areas of Rewari and Gurgaon districts of Haryana (India). Descriptive statistics reveals the below average level of quality of life prevalent among the youth. Though there is a high level of self efficacy yet moderate level of self esteem is prevalent among youth. Further regression analysis reveals self efficacy as a robust predictor of psychosocial health of youth while self esteem emerges as a powerful predictor of physical health.
