    The current study aims to find out the relationship between Self-Concept, Humour Style, and Psychological Distress in Young Adults. The correlational design was used in the study. The total sample of this present study consisted of 225 undergraduates, graduate, and postgraduate young adults in the age range 18 to 25 from university students. Data was collected by using the Self-Concept Scale (SCS), Humor Styles Scale (HSS), and Mental Health Inventory (MHI). The association between Self Concept, Humour Style, and Psychological Distress was tested using the correlation analysis. Additionally, the differences among family systems were determined by using an independent sample t-test. The findings indicated that negative self-concept has a positive correlation with factors of psychological distress and there was more psychological distress in the joint family system as compare to nuclear family system.
