The aim of study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive flexibility, self reflection, and adaptability among final-year college students. A correlational study was conducted with a sample of N=300 university students, from various private and government university sectors consisting of males/females, social sciences/pure sciences, and MS/BS levels. The Adaptability Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Scale and Self-Reflection and Insight Scale were employed to collect data through purposive sampling. Correlation analysis indicated relationship between cognitive flexibility, self reflection and adaptability of the participants was positively significant. Regression analysis indicated that cognitive flexibility (p=.000) and self-reflection (p=.000) were significant positive predictor of adaptability. The results of t-test analysis showed that men have more cognitive flexibility than women whereas females have more self reflection compared to men. Moreover, students from nuclear family system showed more differences in self-reflection as compared to joint. Furthermore, this research presents new potentials for investigating the exposure to cognitive flexibility, self reflection and adaptability. It would encourage the need for comparative studies to cover a wide range of cultural contexts.
