A study of the life satisfaction and locus of control of university students of Bihar.

Abstract

Our study aimed to explore the connection between students' locus of control and their life satisfaction. We chose a sample of 200 students from different courses and universities in Bihar using purposive-cum incidental sampling. To assess these variables, we used the Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Q.G. Alam and Dr. Ramji Srivastava, as well as the Locus of Control Scale by Prof. N. Hasnain and Dr. D.D. Joshi. The data we collected was analyzed using Pearson correlation, which indicated a significant and positive association between students' life satisfaction and their locus of control.
