Mental health of adolescents is a major concern area for psychologists. In order to find out different variables that contribute and predict mental health among adolescents, the present study was planned to examine the relationship between Mental Health, Emotional, Intelligence, Resilience and Temperament among Adolescents. Mental Health Battery (MHB), Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Intelligence (MMEI), Resilience Scale (RS) and The Formal Characteristics of Behavior-Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI) were employed on 400 adolescents within the age range of 15 to 19 years. The data was subjected to Pearson's Product Moment Method of correlation and Multiple Regression analysis. Results revealed that positive association exists between components of Mental Health and Emotional Intelligence. In the same way Resilience and Temperament correlates positively with Mental Health. Results also revealed that emotional intelligence, temperament, and resilience play important role in mental health of adolescents. Finding also revealed that emotional intelligence (motivating oneself, handling relationships, managing emotions), temperament (endurance, emotional re-activity) and resilience predict 30% variance (R2=.30)of mental health among adolescents.
