True False

44 male university students were administered a 12-item true-false questionnaire to determine whether they conceptualized success and failure in terms of internal or external locus of control. They were also administered a measure of fear of failure (the Hostile Press measure). It was predicted that persons high on Hostile Press would be higher on external locus of control than the lows. The prediction was borne out. This study has been repeated twice, once with high school students, and the results have been equivalent.

External Locus Of Control

The aim of this study is to examine how career maturity levels of high school students predict their career desicion-making difficulties according to their locus of control. The sample consisted of 562 (321 female, 241 male) students from 4 different High Schools affiliated with the ministry of national education in city center of Adana province. In the study, Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire which was developed by Gati and Saka (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Bacanlı (2008), Rotter’s Internal and External Locus of Control Scale developed by Rotter (1966) and adapted to Turkish by Dağ (1991; 2002) and Career Maturity Scale developed by Kuzgun and Bacanlı (2005) were used. The pearson moment product correlation coefficient technique was used for the analysis of the relationship between variables Regression analysis was used for the power to predict career desicion making difficulties scores of career maturity of students with internal and external locus of control. According to the findings, career maturity predicts career desicion-making difficulties and its subscales. In addition, the level of career maturity of the students with internal locus of control has reached the level of career decision making difficulties more than the students with external locus of control. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin denetim odaklarına göre mesleki olgunluk düzeylerinin kariyer karar verme güçlüklerini ne kadar yordadığını incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu dört farklı anadolu lisesinde öğrenim gören 321’i kız ve 241’i erkek olmak üzere toplam 562 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada Gati ve Saka (2001) tarafından geliştirilen ve Bacanlı (2008) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Kariyer Karar Verme Güçlükleri Ölçeği, Rotter (1966) tarafından geliştirilen ve Dağ (1991;2002) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Rotter’in İç-Dış Kontrol Odağı Ölçeği ve Kuzgun ve Bacanlı (2005) tarafından geliştirilen Mesleki Olgunluk Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin analizi için pearson momentler çarpım korelasyon katsayısı tekniği, iç ve dış denetimli öğrencilerin mesleki olgunluklarının kariyer karar verme güçlükleri puanlarını yordama gücü için ise regresyon analizi ile hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre mesleki olgunluk, kariyer karar verme güçlüklerinin toplam puan ve alt boyutlarını yordamaktadır. Ayrıca iç denetimli öğrencilerin mesleki olgunluk düzeyi kariyer karar verme güçlükleri düzeyini dış denetimli olanlara göre daha fazla yordadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Relationship

Internal-External locus of control and alcohol use were investigated among high school students, and it was found that external control was positively related to problem-oriented motivations and social complications. A developmental model for the relationship between I-E control and drinking is proposed.

Internal Locus Of Control

The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between academic outcomes and locus control beliefs among high school students in the Northern Region of Ghana.  Using survey methods and multivariate analyses, the results found relatively higher scores in external locus of control beliefs than internal locus of control beliefs among the study participants. External locus of control was inversely related to test scores, and no relationship was found between internal locus of control beliefs and test scores. The results also found significant differences in locus of control beliefs between rural and urban high school students, with urban students reporting higher internal locus of control beliefs than their rural counterparts. Implications for educational policy and practice are discussed.

To investigate differences between Internals' and Externals' characteristic views of figures in authority, the Authority Figure Perception Test, a paper-and-pencil test, was constructed (scale reliabilities ranged from .82 to .33) and administered along with Rotter's I-E Scale to 76 male preparatory high school students. As hypothesized, Internals more than Externals perceived figures in authority (a) as more encouraging of constructive environmental manipulations ( r = .36), (b) as more supportive when difficulty is encountered ( r = .41), (c) as more positively reinforcing ( r = .26), (d) as having more predictable standards ( r = .53), (e) as acting more upon issue-oriented reason ( r = .43), and (f) in a generally more positive light ( r = .55; ps < .025, 1-tailed tests). As age increased in the present sample, the tendency to perceive authority figures (a) as positively reinforcing ( r = .25), (b) as having predictable standards ( r = .23), and (c) in a generally positive light ( r = .25) decreased ( ps < .05, 2-tailed tests).

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among scores on vocational interests, self-esteem, and locus of control for high school students. Grade and sex differences were also examined. 1364 high school students ranging in age from 14 to 19 years of age were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children, and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory. High school students with higher scores on self-esteem and showing an orientation toward internal locus of control expressed more interests in a variety of vocational themes than adolescents with lower scores on self-esteem and scores for external locus of control. Sex and grade differences in vocational interests of adolescents were also noted. The findings were discussed in light of theoretical and practical considerations.

The current paper aimed to investigate the relation between the locus of control and creativity with learning styles among the third grade high school students in the city of Kamyaran. The universe under study in this research consisted of all third grade high school students of the city of Kamyaran. The statistical population included 300 third grade students who were chosen by the cluster sampling method. Tools for collecting data involved the Abedi's creativity questionnaire (1993), Rotter's internal and external locus of control scale (1996) and the Kolb's learning styles questionnaire (1971). To analyze the data, the independent groups t test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), the simple Pearson correlation and the multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) were sued. Results indicated that there was a difference between students and the internal and external locus of control in terms of various learning styles (P<0/03), and also there was a difference between the students with the various learning styles and the creativity level (P<0/01). Findings also suggested that there was a significant difference between the internal and external locus of control with the creativity and gender, and also there was not a significant difference between learning styles and gender.
