Natural disasters can profoundly affect adolescents, disrupting their psychological and socialdevelopment. This study explores the relationship between perceived social support and locus ofcontrol among adolescents in natural disaster-affected areas of Kerala, India. Data were collectedfrom 600 adolescents aged 16–20 years residing in districts severely impacted by naturalcalamities such as floods and landslides. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizingstandardized questionnaires to assess the extent of perceived social support and locus of control.Results indicate that higher levels of social support correlate strongly with an internal locus ofcontrol, which is associated with better emotional resilience and coping mechanisms. The studyalso found that there is a gender difference in perceived social support and locus of control withmale adolescents exhibit higher social support thereby internal locus of control than femaleadolescents
