The Relationship

To investigate the relationship between internal versus external locus of control, sex, and ethnic group membership, three groups of university students (Indians, English-speaking White South Africans and Blacks) were compared on their responses to the Rotter I-E Control Scale. The hypothesis that a belief in internal versus external control is significantly related to ethnic group membership was rejected but it was confirmed for the variable of sex.

The Relationship

The relationship between ethnic minority identity and global self-esteem continues to be an important topic. In two studies among Turkish and Dutch early adolescents in The Netherlands, it was found that both groups did not differ in global self-esteem. However, the Turks indicated more positive ethnic self-esteem than the Dutch and they more strongly endorsed family integrity as an individual tendency towards collectivism. In addition, ethnic self-esteem was found to have a stronger positive relation with global self-esteem among Turkish than Dutch participants. Further, only among the Turks was family integrity positively related to ethnic self-esteem and global self-esteem. Both the esteem derived from ethnic group membership as well as family integrity contributed independently to global personal self-esteem among the Turks. Among both ethnic groups boys had a more positive global (two studies) and ethnic self-esteem (one study) than girls.

The Relationship

Ernest F. Dube traces the relationship between racism and education in South Africa in light of the numerous racist policies and practices that the South African government has pursued and continues to implement. He postulates that, contrary to a general belief that racism is practiced primarily by the Afrikaners, the English-speaking South Africans have also been racist. Dube describes the introduction of Bantu Education and draws attention to the intended and unintended outcomes of this system. He offers his insights into the gravity of the situation and forecasts that serious consequences will result from the oppressive educational practices that exist today.

Nationalist Government

Liberalism in South Africa has had a history of importence because of its failure to adhere consistently to the belief that when the ‘loss of liberty for non-whites’ occurs, it ‘inevitably meant [the] loss of liberty for whites as well’. Instead, the predominantly English-speaking South Africans who backed this movement have attempted to promote liberal ideals while maintaining their white prerogatives, and have subsequently found the two to be ‘incompatible’.1 As a result, neither the uncompromising Afrikaner Nationalists nor the demanding Africans and revolutionaries have supported liberalism, and those South Africans in the middle have been discouraged by its vacillating nature. The National Union of South African Students is an example of a liberal organisation's inability to solve this dilemma. Initially Nusas concentrated on academic needs, following a ‘students as such’ policy, and then later transformed its ideals into a ‘students in society’ view, becoming socially active in defiance of the Nationalist Government.2

Ethnic Group Membership

Correlations between scores on the Adult Locus of Control Scale and a number of personality scales supported the hypothesis that the control scores are related to need achievement, anxiety, psychopathology, socioeconomic status, ethnic group membership, and intellectual ability. There was some evidence that locus of control scores are also related to teacher effectiveness.
