Peer reviewedKlockars, Alan J.; Varnum, Susan W. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1975
Examined two assumptions about the dimensionality of Rotters' Internal-External (I-E) scale: First, the bipolarity of the two statements within each item pair; second, the unidimensionality of the overall construct. Both assumptions regarding Rotters' I-E Scale were found untenable. (Author/BJG)
