Abstract: Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by rapid physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes. Cognitive competency and social competency have emerged as important psychological and educational constructs influencing adolescents’ mental health and psychological well-being. This conceptual article aims to analyse the role of cognitive and social competencies in enhancing adolescents’ psychological well-being by synthesizing existing theories, models, and empirical insights. This paper explains key concepts and examines the interrelationship among cognitive competency, social competency, and psychological well-being, and proposes a conceptual framework to understand how these competencies contribute to positive developmental outcomes. This article highlights the implications for education institutions, teachers, parents, and policymakers, and suggest directions for the future research.
