This study investigated the relationship between self-esteem and locus of control among well-functioning Adolescents.

Three set of instrument comprising self-esteem test (Adenyo & Oyefoso 1985) Locus of control test (Criag, Franklin & Andrew 1984) and Kohn, Brien-wood, pukening & Decicco (2003) were used.
