Results show a significant predictive model with F= 15.35(p<0/001). Personality type and locus of control together can explain 24% of the changes in social acceptance (p<0/001). The regression analysis showed that locus of control with the impact factor of -0.42 (p<0/001) has the ability to predict the social acceptance, but personality type could not predict social acceptance.
