Compared in this study were the locus of control and self-esteem of American Indians ( n = 97) and whites ( n = 128). Contrary to previous research and theory, the two groups did not differ in locus of control as measured by the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Questionnaire. However, they did differ in self-esteem as measured by the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory. The whites reported a significantly more positive view of the self than did the Indians.

The Difference

This study compared locus of control scores of three samples: 42 boys residing in an orphanage in Mexico, 30 Mexican-American boys, and 30 Anglo-American boys living in a small city in northern California. The mean age of all three groups was 13.0 yr. The Mexican boys were expected to show a more external orientation than the other two groups. The hypothesis was only partially supported, with the difference between the Mexican and Mexican-American subjects statistically significant The former group was more externally oriented. The discussion focused on the effect of life circumstances on locus of control and on parental antecedents, specifically in the area of parental control.
