The present study aimed to examine the relationship between Assertiveness and Psychological well being among university students. Data were taken from a sample of 100 university students (50 males and 50 females) with the age range between 19-23 years, using convenience sampling technique. Psychological Well Being Scale (PWBS) developed by Diener et al., 2009 was used to measure the psychological well being whereas The Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) by Nevid and Rathus (1978) was used to measure assertiveness among the students. Data was analyzed via SPSS 20 version. Results showed insignificant gender differences in the levels on assertiveness and psychological well being. 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.
