Ss completed Rotter's (1966) I-E control scale three times, once for themselves, once for their best friend, and once for the average person. When Ss were divided into two groups on the basis of self scores, scores showed Internals perceived both the best friend and the average person as significantly more external than themselves and that Externals perceived themselves, the best friend, and the average person as equivalently external. The results may be a result of Internals' attempts to maintain self-esteem or a response to their higher need for social approval.

From a large class who had been pretested on the I-E Locus of Control Scale and a self-esteem measure, 30 overweight and 20 normal-weight students were selected and measured to determine their percentage of overweight. They were then asked to complete questionnaires measuring knowledge of health-related information and of specific obesity-related information. Results confirmed (a) a negative correlation between self-esteem and percentage overweight and (b) less knowledge of broad, health-related information among obese students. No relation was found between percentage of overweight and I-E scale scores.

Personality Factor Questionnaire

Two hundred and five disadvantaged women completed standardized psychometric inventories (Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Motivation Analysis Test, Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, Internal-External Control Scale, Work Attitude Scale) and a structured interview (attitude-value, activity. Jife concerns items). Factor analysis was used to organize these data; correlational analyses indicated that the inventory and interview dimensions tapped essentially independent aspects within the total motivation domain. Compared with inventory norms, these women exhibited torpidity and submissiveness, depressed motivation, poor self-esteem, but positive work attitudes. Differences between dichotomous subgroups defined by six major demographic variables were consistent with previous literature; the most salient pattern of subgroup differences showed that black, less intelligent, and less educated women were less positive toward work and more externally oriented. In sum, these women appeared resigned and lethargic; no causal inference was drawn, but it was cautioned that choice of counseling procedures should be based on a differentiation of diminished from initial lack of motivation.

The Impact

Background: Depression is common in stoke survivors and their caregivers. Given the interdependent relationship among the members of dyads in post-stroke management, improving depression in dyads may depend on their partner’s characteristics. Self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control, all known to be associated with depression in an individual, may also contribute to their partner’s depression. The purpose of this study was to examine whether an individual’s self-esteem, optimism and perceived control predict their own, as well as their partner’s depression. Methods: A total of 112 ischemic stroke survivor-spouse dyads completed surveys in which depression, self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Revised Life Orientation Test, and the Sense of Control Scale. Multilevel modeling, actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) regression with distinguishable dyad was used to determine influences on depression within the dyad. In APIM, actor effect is the impact of a person’s factors on their own depression and partner effect is the impact of a person’s factors on their partner’s depression. Results: As shown in Figure1, individuals with lower self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control had higher level of depression. Spouses who had stroke survivors with low self-esteem had higher levels of depression. Stroke survivors who had spouses with lower self-esteem and optimism had higher levels of depression. Conclusion: Stroke survivor self-esteem and spouse self-esteem and optimism influenced their partner’s depression. These findings suggest that dyadic intervention is needed to improve depression for the dyads and that depressed stroke survivors may benefit from interventions that improve spousal self-esteem and optimism.

Online Study

Smartphones are a fundamental part of emerging adults' life. The aim of this chapter is to determine which factors play a role in “phubbing” during emerging adulthood as well as to propose and test a model of this phenomenon. We tested a model of relations between phubbing, self-esteem, self-control, well-being, and internet addiction. The following measures were used: the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), the Flourishing Scale, the Internet Addiction Scale, and the Phubbing Scale. The participants in the online study were 640 Italian emerging adults (526 females and 114 males), ranging in age from 18 to 29 (M = 21.7, SD = 2.18). The results showed that the model was well fitted, particularly in postulating that a decrease in the level of self-control is related to an increase in Internet addiction, that an increase in Internet addiction increases the probability of phubbing behavior, and that the level of self-esteem and well-being do not affect Internet addiction. Gender differences, in favor of males, occurred only in self-esteem.

The Impact

129 employees of an Australian manufacturer completed measures of job insecurity, self-esteem, personal control and psychological well-being. Using hierarchical regression analysis, it was shown that the personal attributes of self-esteem and personal control moderated the impact of job insecurity on psychological well being, as predicted, with low self-esteem and external control employees being significantly more adversely affected by insecurity than their high self-esteem and internal control counterparts.

Further Development

A 6-item health locus-of-control scale was freely adapted from the well known Rotter scale of perceived locus of control to differentiate between individuals who believe that even in a hospital setting they exercise some control over decisions affecting their health and those who look for medical caregivers, doctors, nurses, and technicians to assume external control. Test-retest reliability of the measure developed was 0.81, as obtained from 26 hospital personnel. It was hypothesized that individuals higher in hospital status would be more internally oriented on the measure, i.e., physicians and nurses, than individuals lower in status, such as patients. Confirmation of the hypothesis lent construct validity to the measure and opened the way for its use and further development.

The Relationship

The contributions of frequency of positive and negative self-statements and their ratio, locus of control, and depression in prediction of self-esteem were examined. Volunteers were 145 college students (100 women and 45 men) who were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory-Adult Form, Automatic Thought Questionnaire—Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. Intercorrelations suggested significant relationships among variables. The magnitude of the relationship was strongest between the frequency of negative self-statements and self-esteem. These results are consistent with and lend further support to prior studies of Kendall, et al. and Schwartz and Michaelson.

Results of three studies are presented which explore the relation of experienced control to participation in treatment for obesity. Subjects in all studies were adult females participating in an outpatient, behaviorally-oriented obesity program. Experienced control was measured using the Experienced Control Scale (Tiffany, 1967). Study 1 was a naturally occurring experiment which compared two groups ( ns = 7 and 8) that differed in extent of self-directed efforts to begin treatment. Study 2 compared 32 persons who completed the program and 18 persons who did not complete it. High levels of experienced control over internal forces were associated with increased efforts to initiate treatment and with completion of treatment. Study 3 assessed the temporal stability of the Experienced Control Scale with obese females tested at the beginning and end of the 12-wk. treatment program. Test-retest reliability coefficients were .64 ( p < .01) for the internal control subscale and .29 ( P < .10) for the external control subscale.
