The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between performance of an imitative response in subjects with either an internal control or external control orientation under conditions of model-reward or no model-reward. (Author)

One-hundred-and-sixty adolescents participated in two studies designed to investigate the relationship between I/E and helping behavior as mediated by the perceived cause of another's need. (Editor)

Within lay explanation of actions, several significant inferences are assumed to follow from the partition between endogenous and exogenous attributions. An endogenous action is judged to constitute an end in itself; an exogenous action is judged to serve as a means to some further end. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the present research was to replicate O'Leary, et al.'s previous findings (EJ 100 528) and to test the hypothesis that the correlation between Rotter's Locus of Control scale and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale was moderated by neuroticism and negativism toward self. (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)

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)

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)

The purpose of the present study is to test an explanation for the actor-observer phenomenon which is derived from a focus of attention-causal attribution notion. (Author)

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

The present investigation examined reinforcement-responsibility, a measure of locus of control, and its possible relationship to birth order in upper elementary school children. (Author)

A review of over a thousand studies that deal with either locus of control or levels of interpersonal functioning found no research that deals with both. This study is an initial exploration designed to discover any relationship between scores associated with measures of both locus and levels. (Author)

The present study was prompted by the ambiguity and equivocal nature of research results with respect to the control orientation within an alcoholic population. The purpose of the investigation was to examine the amount of control both perceived and experienced by alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Author/RK)

The present investigation was designed to examine the relationship, if any, between extraversion and modes of reinforcement (reward or punishment) in verbal operant conditioning (VOC). (Author)

This study investigates the effects of subject arousal on recall in a task generating numerous errors and the extent to which the performance differences found in verbal learning as a function of subject arousal are obtainable in the context of a study on the recall of connected discourse.
