Self-esteem is vital for an individual’s well-being and quality of life. Struggling with low self-esteem can lead to negative behaviors and unfavorable outcomes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-established psychological approach, effectively addresses mental health issues like low self-esteem. By focusing on unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, CBT supports individuals in fostering a more positive self-image and enhancing emotional health. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT in enhancing self-esteem among first-year B.Sc. students at Pt. Jwala Prasad Upadhyay Govt. College, Patna, Korea (C.G.). Objectives included assessing self-esteem levels pre- and post-intervention in experimental and control groups, evaluating the impact of CBT, and exploring relationships between post-test scores and socio-demographic factors. The study adopted Kenny’s open system model and involved 50 randomly selected students. Data collection tools included Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale and the triple column technique, with tool reliability confirmed (r = 0.93). Findings indicated a significant improvement in self-esteem after CBT, with mean scores rising from 12.64 to 24.06. The effect of CBT was statistically significant (“Z” = –24.59), while socio-demographic variables showed no significant influence. These results underscore the importance of implementing school- or college-based initiatives to enhance students’ self-esteem and equip them to manage academic stress effectively.
