Sex Differences in Locus of Control and Performance under Competitive and Cooperative Conditions.

Nowicki, Stephen, Jr.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p482-86 Aug 1978

The achievement behavior of internally controlled college females was more affected by sex of partner and type of competition than that of males. Although internally controlled males achieved more than externally controlled males, internally controlled females performed better when competing against males or cooperating with females.
