Abstrakt: The study explores the relationship between self-esteem, life satisfaction and happiness. The study was carried out on 215 undergraduate students of technology. Females had a significantly higher mean score of self-esteem and life satisfaction than their male counterparts. Females were also high on mean scores of happiness than males but without any significant variation. All the inter-correlations between the three variables were significant and positive. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the main predictor of happiness was life satisfaction. Selfesteem also predicted happiness but to a lesser degree. Life satisfaction accounted for 33% of the variance in predicting happiness, while self-esteem accounted for 19% of the variance in predicting happiness. It implies that high self-esteem and better life satisfaction in individuals leads to happiness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
