Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the level of Self-Esteem and Attributional Complexity and their
relationship with level of depression among students. Attributional Complexity Scale (Fletcher, Danilovic,
Fernandez, Peterson, & Reeder, 1986), Self-Esteem Scale (Rifai, 1999) and Siddiqui-Shah Depression Scale
(Siddiqui, 1992) were used in the study. Attributional Complexity Scale was translated into Urdu language
and psychometric properties of the scales were assessed. Sample consisted of 160 college students (80 boys
and 80 girls) with an age range of 15 to 20 years. Results showed that there is non-significant correlation
between depression and attributional complexity. Study showed a highly significant negative correlation
between depression and self-esteem. Results also revealed that there is non-significant difference among
girls and boys in level of depression.
