Abstract

In this research, it was investigated whether decisional self-esteem levels and decisional stress levels of high school students differ according to levels of locus of control. Moreover, it was also examined whether decisional self-esteem levels and decisional stress levels of high school students with internal and external locus of controls differ according to gender and perception of their physical appearance. This study was carried out with 1796 public high school students. Data collected by Decision Making Questionnaireand Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale wereanalyzed by means of t test for independent groups and Factorial Analysis of Variance. According to the findings, decisional self-esteem levels of high school students with internal locus of control weresignificantly higher than those from high school students with external locus of control. However, decisional stress levels of high school students with internal locus of control weresignificantly lower than those from high school students with external locus of control. In addition, it was also found that main effects of decisional self-esteem levels and decisional stress levels of high school students significantly differed according to gender and perception of physical appearance, but their interactions between those variables werenot significant either.
