        abstract = {Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage characterized by significant physical, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. During this period, psychological well-being and self-esteem emerge as important determinants of healthy personality development and overall adjustment. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and self-esteem among adolescents. A sample of 120 adolescent students studying in Classes XI and XII was selected through purposive sampling. Psychological Well-Being Scale developed by Carol Ryff and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to the participants. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between psychological well-being and self-esteem among adolescents. Students with higher levels of self-esteem exhibited better psychological well-being across various dimensions such as autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. The study highlights the importance of fostering healthy self-esteem among adolescents to promote positive mental health and psychological adjustment.},
