Sex Knowledge

Scores of 297 college students from 3 different courses taught by different instructors on Lief and Reed's Sex Knowledge and Attitude Test and Levenson's Locus of Control test at Weeks 1 and 15 did not change significantly on Levenson's subscales but attitudes of students in the sexuality class changed on masturbation, abortion, and heterosexual relations. No change in knowledge was noted.

The Relationship

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.

External Locus Of Control

The present study examined the association between locus of control and positive and negative moods in 253 college students. Using the PANAS-X, designed by Watson and Clark, individuals scoring high on internal locus of control also scored higher across different dimensions of positive mood. Conversely, individuals scoring high on external locus of control had higher scores across different dimensions of negative mood.

The U.S

Most earlier studies of college students in the U.S. suggest that internal locus of control is positively related to creativity. The current study on college students in Mexico supports one recent study in the Southeastern U.S. indicating that external college students are more creative. Creative college students in Mexico may be more similar to creative students in the rural Southeast; however, the similarity of findings in these two recent studies may also suggest a changing trend among college students. Perhaps creative students of the late 1970's have a more external orientation than college students of a decade ago.

A sample of college students and college athletes completed measures of competitiveness and locus of control. In addition, self-reports of GPA and sex were provided. Negative correlations among scores on competitiveness, GPA, and scores on internal locus of control were significant. Also, there were sex and athletic status differences in competitiveness.

Perceived Locus Of Control

This study used Rotter's I-E scale to investigate the efficacy of a Life Planning Workshop in facilitating development of an internal locus of control for 5 male and 8 female college students seeking assistance with vocational planning and decision making. Findings showed participants made significantly greater progress ( p < .05) than did a control group of 11 nonparticipants in the development of an internal locus of control.

This study examined the correlation between scores on locus of control and religiosity. Subjects completed the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale and a religiosity measure. I: was hypothesized that an internal locus of control would be related to high religiosity. The value of .05 indicated no correlation between locus of control and religiosity. Implications for research were discussed.

The Way

Rose, Hall, Bolen, and Webster (1996) reported relationships among course grade, locus of control, students' approaches to learning, and other factors. Some of the relationships they report are as expected: for instance, absences from class correlate negatively with course grade, and internal locus of control correlates positively with GPA and course grade. The results for students' approaches to learning are puzzling, however. An inspection of the internal consistency of their data suggests that there may be some errors in the way the data have been collected, scored, or reported.

The type of education and locus of control are significant variables in forming optimistic-pessimistic attitude among students. The main aim of the present study, therefore, was to study the effect of type of education and locus of control on optimistic- pessimistic attitude of undergraduate college students. The other objectives were to find out whether arts-commerce and science students differ in their locus of control as well as to examine the relationship between locus of control and optimistic-pessimistic attitude. An incidental (quota) sample of 160 students from different colleges in Islampur and Sangli city was selected for this study, in which 80 students were from arts-commerce faculty and 80 students were from science faculty. Each group comprised 40 male and 40 female students. The age range of students was from 18 to 20 years (M= 18.6 and SD= 0.7yrs). Optimistic-Pessimistic Attitude Scale developed by Parashar (1998) and Locus of Control Scale (LOC Scale) prepared by Singh and Bhardwaj (2010) were used for collecting the information. The data were analyzed by testing the significance of mean difference and calculating coefficient of correlation. The results reveal that, arts-commerce and science students differ significantly on optimistic-pessimistic attitude and locus of control. Science students were more optimistic than arts-commerce students. Also students with internal locus of control were more optimistic than students with external locus of control. Moreover, science students have internal locus of control than arts-commerce students. Furthermore, internal locus of control was positively and significantly correlated with optimistic attitude.
