Previous research has supported the efficacy of combining the constructs of locus of control and psychological differentiation. The present study related this combination to personality adjustment as measured by Lanyon's Psychological Screening Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Analyses ( n = 113) did not support the hypothesized relationship between congruence-incongruence of locus of control and psychological differentiation and personality adjustment. A discussion of methodological problems inherent in this area of research was presented
