title: Self-concept and locus of control among South African adolescents.
abstract: The present study explored the association of scores on self-concept Self-description Inventory and locus of control (Academic Achievement Accountability) for 192 and 122 South African adolescent girls (M = 17.8 yr.) and boys (M = 19.0 yr.), respectively. For the whole group rs ranged from .00 to .29, confirming that scores on a self-concept scale especially designed for South African adolescent girls and boys are weakly associated with scores on the locus of control scale.
