Abstract
Previous investigation has suggested that dispositional sources of life satisfaction can be traced to measures of affective temperament which include locus of control. Locus of control refers to a belief about whether the outputs of actions are contingent on what is done or on external events. This research was designed to explore locus of control and life satisfaction among university students. Furthermore, another objective of the study was to find out the relationship between locus of control and life satisfaction. Moreover it was also aimed to analyze the impact of locus of control on life satisfaction among students. For this purpose 750 enrolled students of distance learning education at Bahauddin Zakariya University were included in the study. The results revealed the significant positive correlation between the locus of control and life satisfaction. Results also indicated that there is significant impact of locus of control on life satisfaction of students. Furthermore significant differences by gender and age were also found.
