The present study aimed to find out the role of self-esteem and social support on emotional behavioral problems among the adolescents. The sample consisted of adolescents (N=300) comprising of 150 boys and 150 girls selected through purposive and convenience sampling techniques from different schools of Islamabad. All the research instruments demonstrate significant internal consistency (r > 70). Self-esteem and social support were found to have a significant negative correlation with emotional behavioral problems (EBP) such as increased self-esteem and social support could significantly decrease EBP among adolescents as hypothesized. Regression analysis also supported the association and demonstrated that study variables account for about 23% of variance in EBP. Findings of the study can be applied for introduction of programs to increase the self-esteem and improve the social support in order to minimize the emotional behavioral problems among the adolescents.

Educational experiences are necessary for ensuring student’s growth, skill development, and a successful life. The educational experiences are governed by the student’s learning outcomes. Co-curricular activities also form a significant part of student’s life and are found to play a vital role in the academic as well as personal growth and development of children. The present research studied the role of co-curricular activities in student’s learning outcomes at secondary level. The results support association between both variables as assessed by Murphy’s student survey questionnaire. Findings could help to provide evidence for importance of curricular activities to the policy makers so it can be made a part of student’s learning outcomes.
