Abstract: The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between Inferiority complex and Frustration in adolescents. It was conjectured that Inferiority complex in adolescents is positively correlated with Frustration resulting in reactions of Aggression, Resignation, Fixation and Regression. The sample comprised of 100 pre-University college students in the age range of 16-18. The results revealed that Inferiority complex correlated significantly with Frustration. The correlation was specifically high on Aggression Resignation and Frustration on the whole. Further regression analysis was carried out to see whether Frustration would predict Inferiority complex. It was revealed that Frustration significantly predicts Inferiority complex.
