Tests of empathie discrimination, self-concept and locus of control were given before and after a graduate course in supervision. The course was both didactic and experiential and was built on a TA theory base. Results from two separate studies demonstrated significant changes toward empathie discrimination skill and internal locus of control. A statistically non-significant trend toward a higher self-concept was also seen. Control groups demonstrated no significant changes.

The relationship between jealous feelings and behaviors was investigated by giving 185 college students who were currently dating four measures. Analysis showed that high self-esteem, an internal locus of control, and the making of a dispositional (internal) attribution of the cause of jealousy were all significantly related to the use of direct coping (jealous) behaviors.

Fifteen hyperactive children and their mothers were interviewed regarding their knowledge, perception, and attitudes toward treatment with methylphenidate 6 months after commencing a stimulant regime with the child. Measures of locus of control and self-esteem were also administered to the child. The results indicated that mothers and children agreed on the effects of medication and knowledge about the cause of hyperactivity. Both mothers and children had mixed feelings about medication. Most of the children felt that continuing with this treatment was important and seemed to be more concerned than their mothers over negative consequences if medication was stopped. Although it has been suggested that impaired self-esteem may be a consequence of children seeing improved behaviour as a result of medication rather than self-control, the results indicated an increase in both self-esteem and internal, locus of control during the 6-month period of the study.

The differential effects were examined of counselling and operant conditioning interventions upon locus of control beliefs of 173 pupils in Grade 6, as measured by the abbreviated Children's Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale both before and after an 11-wk. intervention. Whilst both interventions effected significant increases in pupils' internal locus of control beliefs, stronger effects followed counselling.

Two personality constructs (self-esteem, locus of control) and several aspects of self-image, e.g., Timidity, Abrasiveness, Perceptiveness, were related to several areas of helpers' and helpees' role behaviours in a work setting. Respondents were 136 nursing staff from a single hospital. Personality and self-image measures were more strongly related to helpers than helpees' role behaviour. Respondents with more self-esteem and internal locus of control were more active and satisfied with their helping roles. Respondents describing themselves as emotionally cold, abrasive, ineffectual, timid, not perceptive, and lacking self-confidence were less active and satisfied with their roles as helpers.

RESUMENLa resiliencia es la habilidad para adaptarse a los acontecimientos adversos, superarlos y ser capaz de lograr un progreso exitoso a pesar de haber vivido esa situación traumática. Las autovaloraciones esenciales son un amplio factor de la personalidad, de orden superior, compuesto por cuatro rasgos: autoestima, autoeficacia, lugar de control interno y neuroticismo. En este trabajo nos planteamos como objetivo principal conocer si existe relación entre la resiliencia y el amplio factor de personalidad autovaloraciones esenciales; también nos planteamos averiguar si hay diferencias por sexo y por edad. Participaron en el estudio 620 estudiantes de bachillerato y universitarios (50% varones) de León y de Salamanca (España). Los instrumentos de medida fueron la Escala de Ego-Resiliencia y la Escala de Autovaloraciones Esenciales (CSES). Los resultados indican que los estudiantes con puntuaciones más elevadas en la escala de resiliencia también obtienen mejores puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. También se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo: los varones obtienen más altas puntuaciones en resiliencia y en autovaloraciones esenciales. Las diferencias por edad indican que los más jóvenes obtienen las más altas puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. Podemos concluir que los jóvenes más resilientes son aquellos con mayor equilibrio emocional, más sana autoestima, tienen lugar de control interno y expectativas de autoeficacia más elevadas. Y los varones jóvenes poseen estas cualidades en mayor medida que las mujeres.ABSTRACTResilience is the ability to adapt at adverse events, overcome them and be able to achieve successful progress despite having lived that harmful situation. Core self-evaluations are a broad, higher-order personality factor composed of four personality traits: self-esteem, self-efficacy, internal locus of control and neuroticism. In this paper, we aim to know if there is a relationship between resilience and the broad personality factor called core self-evaluations, we also consider whether there are differences by sex and age. Participants were 620 students and scholars (50% male) from León and Salamanca (Spain). The measures were the Ego-Resilience Scale and the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES). The results indicate that students with higher scores on the resilience scale also score higher on core self-evaluations. We found differences statistically significant by sex: men obtained higher scores on resilience and core self-evaluations. Younger students take the highest scores on core self-evaluations. We can concluded that the most resilient young people are those with greater emotional stability, healthier self-esteem, have internal locus of control and higher self-efficacy. In addition, young men have these qualities largely than women.

Determining the choice of jobs or education choices is one of the tasks during the development of the senior high school. For that, high school students are required to understand and master the concepts of career maturity to be able to pick and choose the appropriate career direction. Career maturity is influenced by several factors, including internal locus of control and self-concept. Someone who has an internal locus of control has a perception that the measures themselves would produce a positive thing that makes their work more successful. The self-concept is considered critical to the success of life because when someone feels good about himself and his ability, to predict a person's life will be successful.
