This study investigated the relationship between recalled maternal and paternal attitudes and locus of control. (Author)

The present study attempted to predict locus of control orientation from responses given to TAT cards by both male and female Ss. (Author)

Butterfield found that internal Ss tended to make more constructive responses to frustration-type situations than did extrenal Ss. Therefore, this study predicted that internal Ss would rate themselves as more confident with regard to problem-solving abilities than would external Ss. (Author)

This study compared the outcome of external and internal scorers on the locus of control scale and considered the association between internal-external orientation and direct and nondirect marathon group therapy. The findings suggest that internals are better therapeutic risks than externals, regardless of a direct or nondirect therapist…

Investigates whether direct and nondirect therapist techniques within a 23-hour marathon format would differentially induce client shifts in locus of control. The no-treatment control group experienced a significant shift toward externality, while the marathon subjects did not fluctuate significantly from pretherapy to posttherapy. (Author)

It was predicted that external Ss in the structured group would rate the leader and the group more positively than would internal Ss, and that internal Ss in the unstructured group would rate the leader and the group more positively than would external Ss. (Author)

Describes two studies examining the relationship between locus of control and structure of group therapy. Results suggest that external clients may achieve the most significant therapeutic benefits from a structured therapist intervention within a spaced time format, while internal clients may require a therapist model of minimum control and…

Investigates the impact of high and low leader structure on self-actualization (Shostrom, 1966) for internal and external participants in a 23-hour marathon group experience. (Author/RK)
