Abstract

University students are in transitional phases of their lives, going through biological, psychological and social changes and challenges. For most students, University acts as a platform to interact with the opposite gender and to work together in groups. This interaction may lead to the development of feelings for each other and sometimes the feelings are not reciprocated back and it leads to unrequited love. Total of 306 University students were approached trough purposive convenient sampling with the age range of 17-36 years with mean of 22.72 and standard deviation of 3.02. The scales used in the study were, Interpersonal Dependency Scale (Nadeem et al., 2018), Self-Disclosure Scale (Hoyt et al., 2010) and the indigenous scale that is, the scale of psycho social reactions of unrequited love in university students. Pearson Product Moment Correlation showed a direct relationship among Interpersonal dependency, Self-Disclosure and Psychosocial reactions of Unrequited Love among University students. The mediation analysis shows that negative self-disclosure is partial significant indicator of the interpersonal dependency and psychosocial reactions of unrequited love.
