    (UMT, Lahore, 2024) Esha Liaqat; Abeera Naeem; Memoona Batool
    The research focuses to investigate the relationship between egocentrism, relationship satisfaction and mental health issues in university students. The current research employed a quantitative, correlational research strategy to obtain data from 317 university students. Sample includes almost equal distribution of male and female along with educational institute. The assessment tools included Embitterment Scale (Arfa Habib & Sadia Saleem, 2016), Quality of Relationships Inventory QRI (Pierce et al., 1991), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales DASS (S.H. & Lovibond, 1995). The target population for the study was obtained through convenient sampling techniques and ethical considerations were consider during the process of data collection by taking persmissions and informed conset. The statistical analysis methods used in this study incorporated descriptive statistics, correlation, regression test, T-test, and ANOVA. The study established the positive relations between egocentricity and mental health issues, and also the negative correlation between relationship satisfaction and mental health issues. The regression analysis showed that individuals from private institutes and postgraduate programs with high levels of egocentrism and relationship conflict strongly predictors of mental health issues. Thus, the results of the study lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to aim at changing the students’ egocentric attitudes and increasing the amount of relational support in their lives, especially postgraduate and female students. For this reason, intervention programs that specifically developed for such students were suggested.
