Variations in a Construct: Quantitative and Qualitative Differences in Children's Locus of Control.
Kendall, Philip C.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p590-92 Jun 1978
Examined locus of control scores and factor patterns, using Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children. Multidimensionality was supported by factor analyses of emotionally disturbed, delinquent, and elementary public school children. Differences in factor patterns raised questions about interpreting inventory scores as reflecting same construct for differing groups. (Author/BEF)
