Childhood Depression, Locus of Control, and School Achievement.

Tesiny, Edward P.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n4 p506-10 Aug 1980

In a study using 944 fourth and fifth graders, locus of control and depression were positively related. Three measures of achievement were negatively related to both external locus of control and depression. The negative relationship also held for intelligence quotient, although it was not as strong.
