AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN SELF- ESTEEM AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG PUBLIC GENERAL UNIVERSITIES IN KARACHI

Abstract

This research explores the way academic performance and self-esteem are related in university students. The results show that there is a strong and significant positive relationship between how well students do in universities and how much they value themselves. The researchers also looked at how gender affected academic performance and self-esteem. The study found that boys scored better in universities, but girls reported feeling better about themselves than the boys. It looks into the relationship between young people’s self- esteem and how they perform in universities. The findings reveal that students who perform better at university tend to believe in themselves more, and the same holds true the other way around. The results also looked at gender differences in self-esteem and academic achievement. Based on the results, boys got better marks than girls, yet girls had stronger self-esteem than boys did. The evidence shows that self-aaceptance and academic success are related and gender has an effect on both psychology and academics. It is highlighted in the study that we need to design environments that help every student improve academically and feel valued.
