ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between locus of control and attitude formation amongst young adults. A quantitative research approach was adopted, and data were collected from 100 respondents through an online questionnaire distributed via social media. The sample consisted of 50 males and 50 females, aged between 17 and 25 years. Purposive sampling methods were employed to select the participants. The results revealed that locus of control had negligible or weak impact on attitude formation towards parents, teachers, discipline, life and humanity, country, and religion. Additionally, it was observed that females tended to exhibit a higher external locus of control compared to males across various measures. These findings highlight the limited influence of locus of control on attitude formation and the gender differences observed in this regard.
