The present study investigated the relationship between locus of control and defensive style as assessed by the Defensive Mechanism Inventory (DMI). (Author)

In an attempt to extend the "nomological network" of the hopelessness dimension, this research examines the relationship between negative expectancies about the future and two theoretically relevant constructs: generalized expectancies for reinforcement, and depression. (Author/RK)

The present study assessed the relationship between impulsivity as measured by the Matching Familiar Figures test (MFF) and by the impulsivity (IMP) factor derived from the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory (JEPI) items identified by S. N. Bennet in 1973. (Author/RK)

The present findings substantiate previous results that demonstrated that an individual's perceived locus of control becomes significantly more internal after therapeutic interventions. (Author)

This study investigates the underlying constructs of two instruments which purport to measure the locus of control of reinforcement variable. Instruments used were the IAR and the Career Development Responsibility Scale (CDR). Principal components analyses were computed separately for each instrument from the intercorrelation matrix of the items…

The development of a test to measure Locus of Control (IE) in preschool is described. The test is administered individually to a child, who is preferably alone. The set of 40 questions of which the test is comprised posit the occurrence of some reinforcement, and ask the child what the contingencies for the occurrence of the reinforcement are. The…

The relationships among depression, hostility, and locus of control were investigated in 58 clinic outpatients. Depth of depression was correlated positively with both covert hostility and external control, while external control correlated with covert hostility. (Editor)

A revised measure of locus of control for children and a summary of its descriptive statistics is presented. The nature of the instrument is discussed in light of Weiner's two-dimensional attribution table. (Author/MS)

Study designed to reveal some of the intermediate skills which might account for the superior academic performance of children who perceive their reinforcements in those situations as caused by their own behavior (internal control). (Authors)

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)

Attempts a revision and/or regrouping of Bradley's 38 loneliness items into one or more relatively homogeneous subscales for a population of chronic alcoholics. (Author/RK)

Investigates a part of the typology presented by Jung, extraversion-introversion, as a possible contributor to a better understanding of the drug addicts' personality. (Author/RK)

The author defines the locus-of-control dimension and traces the development of internality-externality measures. Research findings regarding the correlation of internality with desirable behavioral traits are presented. He describes a training program for internality development, Achievement Competence Training (ACT), and explores implications of…

The Denial and the Depression scales of the MMPI and Rotter's Locus of Control scale were administered to 26 men with locomotor disabilities and to 44 nondisabled men. All disabled groups scored significantly higher on the Depression scale than the nondisabled group. This finding is discussed in terms of two behavioral formulations of depression.…
