The purpose of the present research was to replicate O'Leary, et al.'s previous findings (EJ 100 528) and to test the hypothesis that the correlation between Rotter's Locus of Control scale and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale was moderated by neuroticism and negativism toward self. (Author/RK)

Butterfield found that internal Ss tended to make more constructive responses to frustration-type situations than did extrenal Ss. Therefore, this study predicted that internal Ss would rate themselves as more confident with regard to problem-solving abilities than would external Ss. (Author)

The present findings substantiate previous results that demonstrated that an individual's perceived locus of control becomes significantly more internal after therapeutic interventions. (Author)

The present investigation examined reinforcement-responsibility, a measure of locus of control, and its possible relationship to birth order in upper elementary school children. (Author)

A review of over a thousand studies that deal with either locus of control or levels of interpersonal functioning found no research that deals with both. This study is an initial exploration designed to discover any relationship between scores associated with measures of both locus and levels. (Author)

Investigates the construct of locus of control as predictive of goal-directed behavior in a group of Equal Opportunity Committee (EEO) employees. (Author/RK)

Investigates the relationship between the annual variations in United States suicide rates during the years 1966 to 1973 and the concomitant annual variations in the I-E scores obtained by United States college students. (Author/RK)

The results of the present study extend the construct validity of the POI by supporting the hypothesis that inner-directed and time-competent individuals would be less likely to yield to their instructor's requests than other-directed, time-incompetent individuals. (Author/RK)

The relationships among depression, hostility, and locus of control were investigated in 58 clinic outpatients. Depth of depression was correlated positively with both covert hostility and external control, while external control correlated with covert hostility. (Editor)

It was predicted that external Ss in the structured group would rate the leader and the group more positively than would internal Ss, and that internal Ss in the unstructured group would rate the leader and the group more positively than would external Ss. (Author)

Attempts a revision and/or regrouping of Bradley's 38 loneliness items into one or more relatively homogeneous subscales for a population of chronic alcoholics. (Author/RK)

The purposes of this study were to test the validity of the item-pair dipolarity assumption, to change the format to avoid bipolar item pairing should the assumption prove untenable, establish a more definitive factor structure and explore its validity by relating it to other personality variables. (Author/RK)

Investigates the locus of control expectancies and defensive styles of a group of Ss who might be expected to be overly internal, i. e., individuals with psychomatic disorders. (Author/RK)

The Denial and the Depression scales of the MMPI and Rotter's Locus of Control scale were administered to 26 men with locomotor disabilities and to 44 nondisabled men. All disabled groups scored significantly higher on the Depression scale than the nondisabled group. This finding is discussed in terms of two behavioral formulations of depression.…
