“Locus of Control, Birth Order and Residence as predictors of General Wellbeing with special reference to Tripura”

Different factors associated with general wellbeing operate differently in different cultures and races and since there is dearth of such systematic study under Indian set up, it is appropriate to investigate empirically that whether or not locus of control, birth order and residence independently or in interaction with each other are accountable for differences in general wellbeing among students. Verma and Verma (1989) are of the view that general wellbeing is "the subjective feeling of contentment, happiness, satisfaction with life's experience and one's role in the world of work, sense of achievement, utility, belongingness and no distress, dissatisfaction or worry etc".
