External Locus Of Control

The construct validity of two dimensions of the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale was investigated. Subjects (102 females and 63 males) completed measures of state and trait depression, a political activity inventory, and the locus of control scale. While the sociopolitical cluster of items showed evidence of construct validity, the personal cluster was not construct-validated. The need was stressed for further investigation of the validity of dimensions of locus of control.

Locus of control merupakan salah satu aspek psikologis yang ada pada diri manusia. Setiap individu memiliki perbedaan dalam locus of control. Perbedaan ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah agama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan locus of control penganut Agama Islam, Katolik dan Protestan, serta mengungkapkan perbedaan locus of control dari ketiga penganut agama tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif dan komparatif. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yakni random sampling dengan jumlah total 546 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan anova satu arah. Temuan penelitian ini meliputi: 1) locus of control penganut agama Islam, Protestan dan Katolik berada pada kategori internal locus of control; dan 2) tidak ditemukan adanya perbedaan locus of control antara tiga penganut agama tersebut. Peneliti memberi saran kepada seluruh penganut agama di Indonesia bahwa penting untuk memiliki internal locus of control. Internal locus of control yang dimaksud yakni meyakini bahwa diri memiliki kapasitas dan kontribusi untuk menentukan kehidupan namun dengan tidak melepaskan kewajiban berketuhanan.

Psychological Dimensions

The extent to which the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control model and the Witkin Field Dependence-Field Independence model were concerned with the same psychological dimensions was examined. Correlations between the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale and the Group Embedded-figures Test of .102 for 80 males and −.001 for 99 females were found. It was concluded that these are independent psychological constructs.

84 female Ss were given the I-E Control Scale and a modified form of Thurstone's word fluency (W) test in counterbalanced order. Ss were classified as “Internals” or “Externals” by division at the median. As hypothesized, the mean fluency scores of Internals were significantly higher than those of Externals for each minute of work. Neither the order variable nor any of the interactions were significant.

Specific Scale

This study compared, in the area of job satisfaction, scores on Rotter's I-E scale and on a new internal-external locus of control scale designed specifically for the work context. The correlation of .39 with the Job Descriptive Index arrived at by using the specific scale is significantly higher than the correlation of —.16 obtained with the Rotter scale. Data suggest this new scale could be useful.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships among Rest's Defining Issues Test, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and demographic variables. 205 undergraduates from two secular universities and one religious liberal arts college from the Middle Atlantic states were given the Defining Issues Test, the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. The Pearson correlations indicated significant associations between the Defining Issues Test scored for percentage of principled reasoning about moral dilemmas and five demographic variables. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences between the group means for the Defining Issues Test scores on three demographic variables and between the group means for the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale scores on two demographic variables. A stepwise multiple regression analysis using five variables predicted a significant amount of the variance (25%) in the Defining Issues Test scores and two variables that predicted a significant amount of the variance (7%) in the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale scores. The Defining Issues Test is both a developmental and cognitive measure. In addition, the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale scores showed a significant relationship with religious affiliation and with Defining Issues Test scores.

External Locus Of Control

228 forestry and 45 construction workers completed the Accident Locus of Control scale which is a modified version of the Health Locus of Control inventory. The forestry workers scored as having a more external locus of control than the construction workers. In both professional groups the subjects with higher scores on external locus of control tended to take more risks than the subjects with higher scores on internal locus of control. The results support a dual-dimensional view of control rather than a unidimensional view.

External Locus Of Control

The present investigation supports the idea that for 113 men and 177 women locus of control as measured by Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale is significantly related to career decidedness as measured by the Career Decision Scale of Osipow, Carney, Winer, Yanico, and Koschir. This relationship exists whether Rotter's normative data or new normative data are used.
