Specific Health

The relationship of generalized locus of control expectancies and specific health locus of control beliefs was explored in a sample of 24 cholecystectomy patients prior to surgery. The Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance scales were used to assess generalized locus of control expectancies, and specific health locus of control beliefs were assessed by the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales. The results question the theoretical commonality between the two locus of control measures and suggest that the alternate forms of the health locus of control scales are not equivalent. Cross-validation on a larger sample is required.

Relationship Of

The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale was administered to 137 chronic hemodialysis outpatients in a survey designed to examine the relationship of these scores to serum phosphorus, a laboratory indicator of dietary compliance in end-stage renal disease. In a multiple regression analysis, scores on the Powerful Others Locus of Control subscale accounted for 8.9% of the variance in serum phosphorus. Discussion includes a tentative explanation of the findings and limitations of the design.

Locus of Control and Effects of Perceptual Tasks on Heartrate

The Relationship

The hypothesis was tested that the relationship found in prior research between heartrate changes produced in biofeedback settings and locus of control scores derives from the heart-brain relationship described by the Laceys in 1967, as well as from “expectancies for control.” 48 subjects were tested on two perceptual tasks known to elicit changes in heartrate. Significant heartrate changes were observed in response to both tasks, but those changes did not correlate with locus of control as measured by scores on the Rotter I-E Scale and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale. Explanations for these results are offered.
