Crandall and Lehman (1977) suggest that an accummulation of life stresses causes a person to change his/her perceived locus of control. The present study argues that the converse is more likely, i.e., locus of control influences one's perception of life events. The SRRS and l-E scales were administered to 191 subjects. Locus of control did not correlate with normally computed SRRS scores, but it did correlate with SRRS scores when these were based on the subjects' own rating of degree of stressfulness. These results appear to support the hypothesis.
