Internal and external subjects, who previously filled out Rotter's (1966) Internal-External scale, were asked to score the I-E scale of "another student". It was predicted that ratings of the "other" would increase in positivity to the extent the "other" scored as an interval. (Editor/RK)

Attempts to show how social learning theory provides a theoretical perspective for studying individual differences in information-seeking regarding preventive health care. (Author/RK)

This study extends the research on being imitated by assessing its impact on the model's reward of the imitator and on the imitator's reward value relative to a juxtaposed nonimitating confederate. 48 first grade students of primarily middle socio-economic class served as subjects. (Author/RK)

This study investigated the relationship between internal and external locus of control in subjects in a verbal learning experiment. As hypothesized, the lack of freedom of choice was associated with decreased recall in internals. Being able to choose material lead to faster learning for both internals and externals. (Editor/RK)

Predicts that children with an external locus of control orientation will estimate a self-imposed delay interval to be longer than will children with an internal locus of control orientation, while externals will estimate an externally imposed delay to be shorter than will internals. Discusses the implications of the research findings for an…

Causal attributions of a person actually experiencing a success or failure (the actor) and someone who read about the situation (the observer) were compared. Results supported Jones and Nisbett (1971). (Editor)
