The Relationship

Data selected from the 1994-1999 Longitudinal Study of the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program were used to examine the contribution of self-esteem, career-related knowledge, locus of control, and gender to the prediction of employment outcome experienced by individuals with learning disabilities (LD), as well as to hourly wages, weekly hours worked, and job satisfaction. Using logistic regression analyses, no independent variables studied were predictive of employment outcome for all participants (n = 240) or receiving workplace benefits for those who were employed (n = 63). Multiple regression analyses indicated that gender (p < .01) and belief in chance (p < .05) significantly predicted hourly wages for participants who were employed. Career-related knowledge was a significant (p < .05) predictor of job satisfaction.

The Relationship

The study investigated the relationship between stress and academic performance among government-sponsored undergraduate students from the University of Nairobi in Kenya. The mediating roles of the students’ age, gender, locus of control, level and course of study in the relationship between stress and academic performance were also examined. The sample consisted of 319 male and 265 female students selected using stratified random sampling techniques, from all the six colleges of the university. The study was carried using a cross-sectional survey design involving levels one to five of the academic programs. Data was collected using questionnaires that measured stress and locus of control. Academic performance was assessed from the students’ academic transcripts. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analyses. Two-way and three-way chi- square statistics were used to test the statistical significance of the hypothesis.. The analyses were done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer program. Regression analysis was conducted to find out how the confounding variables contributed to the relationship between stress and academic performance. Results showed that most of the students (64.4%) reported that they experienced between moderate to high levels of stress while just over a third (35.6%) reported low stress levels. The relationship between stress and academic performance was statistically significant (χ2=9.49, N=584, df=4, p=0.048). The relationship between stress level and academic performance was significant within 19 to 22 years, 23 to 26 years, males, females, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, levels one and four of study, internal locus of control, and external locus of control. Regression analysis showed that the higher the stress level, the poorer is the academic performance. However, only course/college appears to have statistically significant effect on the relationship between stress and academic performance. The cofounding effect on the stress and academic performance is complex and needs further investigation. The findings indicate the need for relevant authorities to institute programs that will lower the experience and effects of stress among university students. Further research is recommended to investigate the areas where the results were not significant.

The Relationship

Ninety-two university students (55 women; 37 men) participated in a study of the relationship between authoritarian and socially restrictive attitudes toward mental patients and the variables of trait -anxiety, self-esteem, locus of control, age, and gender. Results of multivariate analyses showed that individuals who score high in authoritarianism tend to be young, male, and believers in chance and fate (external locus of control). A similar pattern was found for social restrictiveness.

The Relationship

A plethora of research underscores the deleterious effects that racial discrimination can have on the higher education pursuits and experiences of African Americans. The current study investigated the relationship between internalized racial oppression, higher education values, academic locus of control, and gender among a sample of African Americans. Participants were 156 African Americans currently attending college. All participants completed measures of internalized racial oppression, perceived value of higher education, and academic locus of control. Results indicated that greater internalized racial oppression correlated with a lower valuing of higher education and a more external academic locus of control. Subsequent mediational analyses showed that academic locus of control was an intervening variable in the relationship between internalized racial oppression and the value placed on higher education for men, but not women. For African American men, greater experiences of internalized racial oppression predicted a more external locus of control, which subsequently predicted a lower valuing of higher education. Implications for mental health providers and educators were discussed herein.

An industrial psychological investigation into the relationship between social support and occupational adjustment at mid-level management. In an effort to measure the relationship that social support, co-worker support, superior support, family support and friendship support have with occupational adjustment; as well as the moderating influence that locus of control and gender have on the relationship between social support and occupational adjustment, two questionnaires were used in the study. For measuring social support and support from a person's co-workers, superiors, family and friends as well as for measuring occupational adjustment, the Work and Support Network Satisfaction Scale was utilised. The Internal-External Locus of Control Scale was used for measuring locus of control. The measuring instruments were applied to 131 mid-level managers in the banking sector. Results indicate a positive relationship between social support and occupational adjustment, co-worker support and occupational adjustment, and superior support and occupational adjustment. Opsomming In 'n poging om die verwantskap te ondersoek wat sosiale ondersteuning, medewerknemerondersteuning, bogeskikte-ondersteuning, gesinsondersteuning en vriendskapsonder-steuning met beroepsaanpassing het; sowel as die modererende invloed wat lokus van kontrole en geslag op die verhouding tussen sosiale ondersteuning en beroepsaanpassing het, is daar van twee vraelyste gebruik gemaak. Vir die meting van sosialc ondersteuning en ondersteuning van 'n persoon se medewerknemers, bogeskiktes, gesin en vriende, sowel as vir die meting van beroepsaanpassing, is die Werk- en Ondersteuningsnetwerk Tevredenheidskaal aangewend. Die Interne-Eksterne Lokus van Kontrole Skaal is vir die meting van lokus van kontrole gebruik. Die meetinstrumente is op 131 middelvlakbestuurders in die banksektor toegepas. Die resultate dui op 'n positiewe verband tussen sosiale ondersteuning en beroepsaanpassing, medewerknemerondersteuning en beroepsaanpassing, en bogeskikteondersteuning en beroepsaanpassing.

The Relationship

Recent research has demonstrated that egalitarian gender role ideologies are associated with higher marital satisfaction and higher psychological well-being. However, there has been little research investigating whether gender role ideologies in Evangelical populations follow these same trends. The current study examined how gender role ideologies in an Evangelical population are related to marital satisfaction and eudaimonic well-being, as well as the role of locus of control in these relationships. Three hundred sixty-three Evangelical Christian women were administered a survey containing measures of gender role ideology, marital satisfaction, eudaimonic well-being, and locus of control. No bivariate relationship was found between marital satisfaction and gender role ideologies. However, locus of control significantly moderated this relationship, such that the relationship was only significant for women with a more external locus of control. Specifically, externalizing women evidenced a significant positive relationship between egalitarian gender role ideologies and marital satisfaction, whereas the relationship was not significant for internalizing women. Moreover, egalitarian gender role ideologies were found to be positively related to eudaimonic well-being. The results of this research expand the current body of literature surrounding gender role ideologies within religious populations, specifically regarding outcomes that are associated with holding specific gender role ideologies.

The Relationship

Abstract. The ratio of second to fourth finger length (2D:4D ratio) is sexually dimorphic with women having higher 2D:4D ratio than men. Recent studies on the relationship between 2D:4D ratio and gender-role orientation yielded rather inconsistent results. The present study examines the moderating influence of nationality on the relationship between 2D:4D ratio and gender-role orientation, as assessed with the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, as a possible explanation for these inconsistencies. Participants were 176 female and 171 male university students from Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden ranging in age from 19 to 32 years. Left-hand 2D:4D ratio was significantly lower in men than in women across all nationalities. Right-hand 2D:4D ratio differed only between Swedish males and females indicating that nationality might effectively moderate the sexual dimorphism of 2D:4D ratio. In none of the examined nationalities was a reliable relationship between 2D:4D ratio and gender-role orientation obtained. Thus, the assumption of nationality-related between-population differences does not seem to account for the inconsistent results on the relationship between 2D:4D ratio and gender-role orientation.
