Groth-Marnat, Gary; Scumaker, Jack F.

Social Behavior and Personality, v16 n1 p19-23 1988

Investigated relationship between locus of control and attitude to food intake in 101 female college students. Results indicated that locus of control was unable to predict attitudes toward eating and fear of becoming overweight. Thesis that locus of control would be related to attitude toward food intake was not supported. (Author/NB)
