Abstract

Viktor Frankl (1965) postulated that a pivotal aspect of human existence resides in the concept of Self Transcendence, encapsulating a directed attention “beyond the self”. This phenomenon entails diverse avenues for realization. Present research endeavors to explore distinct manifestations of Locus of Control categorized into two types namely Internal and External as predictors of Self Transcendence. A study encompassing 218 adults aged between 18 and 30 from Surat, Gujarat were undertaken for this purpose. The measurement instruments utilized were the Levenson Multidimensional Locus of Control Scale and Reed’s Self Transcendence Scale, employed to assess Locus of Control and Self Transcendence respectively. Data collection employed a combination of Convenience and Snowball sampling techniques. Analysis encompassed statistical tools including Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s Correlation coefficient, and Regression analysis, facilitated by SPSS software. This study posits that there will be a statistically significant prediction of Self Transcendence as a consequence of types of Locus of Control. The findings supported the hypothesis.
