Irrational beliefs effect the functioning of an individual by lowering the skills emotional competence and self-esteem. Although the concept of irrational beliefs has received extensive attention, yet the concept needs to be addressed covering varied aspects.

For this purpose, Shortened General Attitude and Belief Scale (SGABS) by Lindner, Kirkby, Wertheim, & Birch (1999), Social Skills Inventory by Riggio & Carney (2003) andSelf-Esteem Inventory by Coopersmith (2002) were administered on 300 (150 females and 150 males) participants. The correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data. Findings of the present study revealed significant negative correlation of irrational beliefs with emotional skills and self-esteem. Implications of the findings have been discussed. Key Words: irrational beliefs, emotional skills, self-esteem and adolescents Policy
