The primary purpose of the study was to assess the validity of the reported relationship between an ‘externalised’ locus of control and the psychopathology of anxiety and depression. 36 clinical out-patients primarily presenting as anxious, depressed or both and 46 normal controls were tested on the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control together with self-rating scales of anxiety and depression. With regard to the clinical group in particular, the hypothesised relationships between the ‘Chance’ and ‘Powerful Others’ dimensions of locus of control and the psychopathology of depression and anxiety did not emerge. In contrast, although the normal group showed no correlation of locus of control scores with depression, a positive and significant correlation was displayed with anxiety as measured by Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Implications for current theoretical formulations for psychopathology, scale specificity, and the need to delineate client populations carefully were discussed.

Health locus of control (HLOC) constitutes an important psychological domain of interest to the manifestation and course of disease. Research has shown that health locus of control beliefs can be predictive of anxiety and depression and could therefore act as a good determinant of psychological adjustment for patients with chronic conditions. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between locus of control health beliefs with depression and anxiety in end stage renal disease patients. Also, to explore whether these beliefs can indeed predict patients’ psychological adjustment. 144 adult patients undergoing haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis participated in this cross-sectional prospective study. Sociodemographic and medical characteristics were recorded and the following structured questionnaires were administered: the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) (Wallston et al, 1994), the Centre of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) (Fountoulakis et al, 2001), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory 2 (STAI 2) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) (Garyfallos et al, 1991). ANOVA analysis was performed to examine whether patients’ MHLC scores correlated with CES-D, STAI 2 and GHQ scores and regression analysis was performed to determine the degree to which health locus of control beliefs can predict depression and anxiety. Results revealed significant relationships between health locus of control beliefs and anxiety, depression thus demonstrating the role health beliefs can play in patients’ psychological adjustment with important implications for clinical practice.

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic young people are experiencing anxiety and tension associated with an unusual, unclear and unpredictable situation. Deterioration of the economic situation resulting from the pandemic, social distancing, school closure and a real threat to health and life are strong anxiety-inducing factors. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the level of depression among adolescents and which of the factors related to the pandemic (health-related anxieties and restrictions) were the most difficult for them. We also wanted to verify the differences in depression and anxiety in girls and boys, and the relationship between anxiety, depression and health locus of control in adolescents. Method: The study covered 296 people from 17 to 19 years old. The research was carried out using the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC). Results: The results of the study indicate that the youth experience elevated levels of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. 75% of the participants experienced depression symptoms. The severity of the perceived state of anxiety and depressive symptoms was significantly higher among adolescent girls than among boys. In addition, individuals who reported anxious thoughts about the possibility of someone in their family contracting COVID-19 experienced significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms than those who did not. Additionally, the internal health locus of control negatively correlated with both anxiety as a state and depression, while the external (chance-related) health locus of control correlated positively with depression and anxiety.
