This study was earned out to assess the mediating role of happiness in relationship between resiliency and mental health. The relationship between resiliency, happiness and mental health was also assessed. The study was conducted out on 120 students studying in the university. For the statistical analysts of the data, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, regression analysis and Sobel test were applied. Results revealed significant relationship between all the study variables. Partial mediating role of happiness was confirmed in this study. This suggests that resilient students who tend to feel happy are likely to experience better mental health. The findings of the study urge to develop certain interventions to enhance happiness and resiliency in the students receiving higher education. These findings might be beneficial for the students since they experience sudden change in educational system requiring greater self reliance and active role. The interventions might focus on enhancing mental health through contributing in reduction of mental disorders and not developing the same in the firstplace. Findings of the study might be particularly useful for giving a face lift to the current education system through incorporating an element of counseling services.Keywords

Sports have been considered beneficial for the better fhnetioning of an individual. Indulgence in sports activities is rich and rewarding experience. However athletes who are involved in competitive sports as well as academics tend to experience greater amount of mental strain that has negative impact on their performance in the field. Therefore, it is important that focus should be given on mental health of student athletes. While efforts have been directed towards reducing the mental distress experienced by student athletes, there is comparatively lesser attention paid towards enhancing their mental health. The application of positive psychology in the field of sports has given due consideration to importance of positive mental health among athletes. Positive mental health has been found as one of the most important factor that facilitates the cognition and assists in effectively handling the multiple demands experienced by athletes. However, there is a dearth of literature with regard to significance of positive mental health among student athletes. The purpose of the present paper was to highlight the importance of positive mental health among student athletes.Keywords
