Significant correlation was observed between assertiveness and psychological well being, hence proved the hypothesis. Results also indicated no significant differences of family system with assertiveness and psychological well being of the students but in the region of residence, the students exhibited significant differences for assertiveness only and not in the level of psychological well being.
