Three research questions were raised and answered at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson's product moment correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The result showed that social well-being positively correlated with emotional intelligence (r= .967, p< 0.01), peer influence (r = .545, p<0.01), family structure (r= .497, p<0.01), self-esteem (r = .220, p<0.05) and school environment (r= -.324, p<0.01). This implies that the higher the peer influence, family structure, self-esteem and emotional intelligence, the higher the likelihood of experiencing social well-being. The most potent factor was emotional intelligence (Beta = .967, t= 48.254, P<0.01), followed by self-esteem (Beta = .456, t= 7.069, P<0.01) A followed by peer influence (Beta = .866, t = 13.442, P<0.01). This implies that increased influence of self-esteem will improve students' social well-being by 45.6%, peer influence will increase social well-being by 86.6%, while emotional intelligence will increase social well-being by 96.7%.
