Locus of Control and Life Adjustment: Relationship Among People with Spinal Cord Injury.

Krause, J. Stuart; Stanwyck, Carol Anson; Maides, Joseph

Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v41 n3 p162-72 Mar 1998

Identifies the relationship of life adjustment after spinal cord injury with three components of locus of control (LOC): internality, chance, and powerful others. Internality was positively correlated with subjective well-being and powerful others was negatively correlated with health indicators. States that rehabilitation counseling will be enhanced by using LOC to predict risk for adverse outcomes. (Author/MKA)
