Abstract	This study focuses on the connections between peer pressure, emotional intelligence (EI), and mental well-being in youthful grown-ups. Findings reveal a significant negative correlation between peer pressure and mental well-being (r= -.234, p < .05), indicating that higher peer pressure is associated with lower mental well-being. Conversely, a significant positive correlation is observed between emotional intelligence and mental well-being (r= .565, p < .01), suggesting that greater emotional intelligence is linked to enhanced mental well-being. However, no significant correlation is found between peer pressure and emotional intelligence (r= -0.003, p > .05). These results highlight the detrimental impact of peer pressure on mental well-being and underscore the beneficial role of emotional intelligence in fostering mental well-being.
