Evidence of Unidimensionality of Locus of Control in Women Prisoners: Implications for Prisoner Rehabilitation.

Griffith, James

Journal of Offender Counseling, Services & Rehabilitation, v9 n1-2 p57-69 Fall-Win 1984

Investigated the dimensionality of the locus of control (LOC) construct in 174 inmates at a state prison for women. Factor analyses showed the presence of one factor, the internal-external dimension. The dimensionality of LOC was unrelated to length of imprisonment. Homogeneity of sex, race, and socioeconomic status influenced results. (JAC)
