Adolescence is the period of identity formation, independence transformation of roles, physiological changes and cognitive development. Results of the study illustrated that regression model as a whole accounted for 87.3 % of variance and R for psychological factor, adaptive strategies, coping strategies and family environment is 0.93, adjusted R2 = .87, F (4, 95) = 333.9, p< 0.01 that states that these are good predictors of psychological distress in adolescents. The results show that psychological factor is the best predictor of psychological distress in adolescents (? = -.89, p < 0.01). The adaptive strategies contributes significantly to the psychological distress of adolescents (? = -.19, p < 0.01). Coping strategies (? = .15, p < .01) and family environment (? = -.67, p < 0.01) also show significant contributions to the psychological distress in adolescents.
