The main aim of this research was to examine whether there are differences in the self-esteem and the locus of control of students whose parents are divorced and the ones from intact families, considering also the gender and the age of students at the time of the parental divorce. The questionnare used in this research included Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), The Rotter's Scale of Internal versus External Cotrol of Reinforcement (Rotter, 1975) and sociodemografic questionnare. The total number of participants in this research is 543, including 425 students from intact families and 118 students whose parents are divorced. The results showed a statistically significant main effect of students' gender on the level of self-esteem, and that male students have statistically significantly higher self-esteem compared to female students. On the other hand, there has been found no significant main effect of divorce of the student's parents on the student's level of self-esteem. Whitin the group of students whose parents were divorced, there has been found no statistically significant main effect of either gender or age of the student at the time of the parents' divorce on the students' self-esteem. Regarding the locus of control, there has been found that male students have significantly more internal locus of control compared to female students. Furthermore, no significant difference in locus of control was found between students from intact families and students whose parents went through divorce. Whitin the group of students whose parents went through divorce, there has been found that male students have statistically significantly more internal locus of control compared to a female students. Finally, there has been found no statistically significant main effect of the student's age at the time of divorce on the locus of control, nor the interaction effect of age at the time of divorce and gender,
