Methodological Problems

Previous research has supported the efficacy of combining the constructs of locus of control and psychological differentiation. The present study related this combination to personality adjustment as measured by Lanyon's Psychological Screening Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Analyses ( n = 113) did not support the hypothesized relationship between congruence-incongruence of locus of control and psychological differentiation and personality adjustment. A discussion of methodological problems inherent in this area of research was presented.

Empathy Scale

To investigate the correlations between empathy, locus of control, and anxiety 59 college students were administered Hogan's (6) empathy scale, Spielberger's (12) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Rotter's (10) locus of control scale. Empathy correlated significantly with both state (—.36) and trait (—.36) anxiety while locus of control correlated with trait anxiety only (.36). There was no significant correlation between empathy and locus of control. Correlations were discussed with respect to previous research and theoretical implications.

Emotionally Disturbed Children

2 measures of locus of control and two measures of anxiety were administered to 50 emotionally disturbed children. Whether locus of control was significantly related to anxiety was dependent on the measure of anxiety employed. The Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale correlated significantly with both measures of locus of control. However, neither the A-state not the A-trait portion of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children was correlated significantly with locus of control. All measures of anxiety intercorrelated significantly. The magnitude of the correlation between measures of locus of control was small if both assessed the same construct.

Pearson Correlations

This study investigated the associations of Locus of Control (Children Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Control Scale) with state and trait anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children) in 302 children aged 9 to 12 yr. No significant differences were found between the groups. No significant correlations were found between the anxiety measures and externality for the 31 children from maritally disrupted families, but significant positive Pearson correlations were found for the 271 children of intact families. The results are discussed in terms of the possibility of under-reporting of marital disruption by children.
