Locus of Control as a Measure of Ineffectiveness in Anorexia Nervosa.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hood, Jane; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1982

Younger anorexic patients demonstrated higher internal control compared to norms on times related to fatalism and social-system control. Scores for older patients could not be differentiated from the norms. (Author)
