Abstract
The relation between locus of control and political affiliations in the context of an economic setback was investigated. The Rotter I-E Locus of Control Questionnaire was administered to 409 undergraduate students. Findings suggest that internals are more inclined to accept social and political changes and externals are more affected by economic crisis.Keywords
