Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-esteem and personality type on the academic achievement and happiness of adolescents. A 2*2 factorial design was used with two levels of self-esteem (high and low) and two levels of personality type (Type-A and Type-B). The sample of the study included a total of 120 students studying in +2 science colleges. Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, Are you type-A Questionnaire, and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were used as instruments for collecting data. The academic achievement of students was assessed by obtaining their last examination marks (in terms of percentage). Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used. It was found that self-esteem and personality type have significant impacts on the academic achievement and happiness of adolescents. The interaction effect between self-esteem and personality types on academic achievement and happiness was not found to be significant.
