Abstract
This study focuses on the Locus of Control, Birth Order and Residence as predictors of General Wellbeing with special reference to Tripura by taking 400 degree level students from different degree colleges and universities of Tripura state. Review of literature demonstrates that 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. The following conclusions were drawn on the basis of analysis of data like Locus of control significantly influences general wellbeing of students, internally controlled students were found superior on general wellbeing than externally controlled students. Birth order of the students seems to have significant influence on general wellbeing. First born students were found higher on general wellbeing than later born students. Residence does not account for substantial amount of variance on general wellbeing of students. Urban or rural students have yielded equal outcome on the scores of general wellbeing. Locus of control and birth order appears to interact to yield significant results on general wellbeing. Locus of control and residence and birth order and residence of the students do not appears to interact to yield significant results on general wellbeing. Locus of control, birth order and residence of the students do not appears to interact with reference to general wellbeing of the students of Tripura in particular.
