Coefficient alpha reliability estimates and interscale correlations were obtained for five locus of control scales administered to 267 undergraduates: the Rotter Internal-External Scale; the 18-item version of the Reid and Ware scale; the Levenson scale; the Nowicki-Strickland adult internal/external scale; and the Duttweiler Internal Control…

Peer reviewedZerega, William D., Jr.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
The results show that the stability of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale is established over an eight month period. Concurrent validity of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scales in relation to the MacDonald-Tseng Locus of Control Scale is established. (Author/DEP)

Peer reviewedKinder, Donald L.; Reeder, Leo G. – Sociometry, 1975
Rotters' internal external scale failed to demonstrate adequate degrees of interval consistency for Blacks. The unreliability of the dimension among Blacks was pervasive. Such unrealiability was specific to Blacks: there was satisfactory internal consistency for Anglos and Chicanos. The theoretical and methodological implications of these findings…

Peer reviewedWalkey, Frank H. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1979
The internal-external locus of control scales of Rotter and Levenson and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale were completed by 156 undergraduates. The three-factor structure underlying Levenson's questionnaire was clearly confirmed. Some new evidence for the multidimensionality of Rotter's scale was also presented. (Author/GDC)

Peer reviewedDavis, Caroline; Cowles, Michael – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
Computerized and paper-and-pencil versions of four standard personality inventories administered to 147 undergraduates were compared for: (1) test-retest reliability; (2) scores; (3) trait anxiety; (4) interaction between method and social desirability; and (5) preferences concerning method of testing. Doubts concerning the efficacy of…
