Abstract
The present study explored the association of scores on self-concept S elf-description Inventory and locus of control (Academic Achievement A ccountability) for 192 and 122 South African adolescent girls (M = 17. 8 yr.) and boys (M = 19.0 yr.), respectively. For the whole group rs r anged from .00 to .29, confirming that scores on a self-concept scale especially designed for South African adolescent girls and boys are we akly associated with scores on the locus of control scale.
