The main objective of the present investigation was to study the relationship between Frustration and Locus of Control of the Adolescents. To achieve this objective, the Frustration Scale by Dixit and Srivastava (2004) and Locus of Control Scale by Hasnain and Joshi (2017) were used. The sample consisted of 200 adolescents selected randomly from Government Senior Secondary Schools of Moga District of Punjab, India. The sample was equally categorized between Boys-Girls, and Rural-Urban Adolescents. Statistical techniques viz. - Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error of Means, t-test, Coefficient of Correlation (r) and Regression were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that there exists a significant difference in the frustration level of boys and girls adolescents. Boys depicted more frustration as compared to girls. Further there also exists a significant difference in the frustration level of rural and urban area adolescents. Rural area adolescents depicted more frustration as compared to urban area adolescents. Results further revealed that adolescents differ significantly on locus of control with respect to gender and locale. Girls depicted more locus of control as compared to boys and urban area adolescents also depicted more locus of control when compared with rural area adolescents. The results further revealed that there exists a negative relationship between Frustration and Locus of Control of the Adolescents. It means that Locus of Control inversely affects the Frustration of the Adolescents. If the Adolescents have a high level of Locus of Control then their Frustration will be less and Vice-Versa.
