Abstract
This article aims to dive into some of the factors fostering positive thinking in youth. In this framework, a survey was conducted with the voluntary participation of 332 university students and the results were tested through discriminant, correlation and ROC analysis. The statistics based on the survey responses had revealed that formation of positive mindset were favourably influenced by family, happy childhood, friendship, love, optimistic outlook, self-confidence and faith in God, while money, age and gender were evaluated as non impacting components in this regard. Certain suggestions were put forward based on the results yielded.
