Convergent Validity of Five Locus of Control Scales.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Goodman, Sherri Hope; Waters, L. K. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
Coefficient alpha reliability estimates and interscale correlations were obtained for five locus of control scales administered to 267 undergraduates: the Rotter Internal-External Scale; the 18-item version of the Reid and Ware scale; the Levenson scale; the Nowicki-Strickland adult internal/external scale; and the Duttweiler Internal Control…

Stability and Concurrent Validity of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zerega, William D., Jr.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
The results show that the stability of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale is established over an eight month period. Concurrent validity of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scales in relation to the MacDonald-Tseng Locus of Control Scale is established. (Author/DEP)

A System for Assessing Personal Responsibility: Validity, Reliability, and Rater Trainability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Genthner, Robert W.; Jones, Daniel E. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1976

Relationship of Locus of Control Inventory for Three Achievement Domains (LOCITAD) to Two Other Locus of Control Measures: A Construct Validity Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Omizo, Michael M.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
The relationship was examined between six scales of the Locus of Control for Three Achievement Domains (LOCITAD), the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale, and the Rotter Internal-External Scale. Subjects were 140 adolescent boys and girls. Significant correlations provided some support for LOCITAD's validity. (Author/GDC)

Initial Validity and Reliability of the Trent Attribution Profile (TAP) As a Measure of Attribution Schema and Locus of Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wong, Paul T. P.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The Trent Attribution Profile provides measures of locus of control and stability which can be further partitioned into individual attribution elements (ability, effort, task difficulty, luck). Reliability and validity data are reported. (Author/JKS)

Correlates of the Just World Factor of Rotter's I-E Scale
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zuckerman, Miron; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1977
A factor analysis of Rotter's internal-external locus of control scale is described. The four factors extracted were there correlated with several political attitude instruments. Results lead authors to suggest a modification in Rotter's scale, particularly in the "just world" items. (JKS)

Internal Control, Powerful Others, and Chance: A Confirmation of Levenson's Factor Structure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Walkey, Frank H. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1979
The internal-external locus of control scales of Rotter and Levenson and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale were completed by 156 undergraduates. The three-factor structure underlying Levenson's questionnaire was clearly confirmed. Some new evidence for the multidimensionality of Rotter's scale was also presented. (Author/GDC)
