Academic Locus Of Control

Responses from 40 women and 56 men to the Academic Locus of Control Scale and the Framingham Type A Scale were unrelated to each other but correlated .49 and .55 and −.32 and −.37, respectively, with absences from class. Elimination of illness-related absences raised the correlations.

Academic Locus Of Control

Vocational rehabilitation, consumer empowerment, and self-determination are key factors in the underlying philosophy of rehabilitation today, and a major emphasis in the provision of rehabilitation services. Consumers with learning disabilities face several specific obstacles in achieving desired rehabilitation goals. In order to provide rehabilitation counselors with a unique resource to help their clients assume control of their own rehabilitation plan, social learning theory and locus of control are examined. Specifically, two locus of control instruments are suggested for use with rehabilitation consumers who have learning disabilities. One instrument, the Academic Locus of Control Scale (ALOC; Trice, 1985) is appropriate for college-bound individuals, and the Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Locus of Control Scale (ANS-IE; Nowicki & Duke, 1982) is appropriate for non-college bound individuals. The purpose of this article is to provide the rehabilitation counselor with a tool that can help connect the consumer's control of their rehabilitation plan to their perceptions of everyday events. This tool may help stimulate and maintain an internal locus of control by challenging inaccurate perceptions of control consumers may have toward commonly occurring events.

Satisfaction Analysis

The present study examined job stress and job satisfaction and their relation to measures of neuroticism, Type A behavior, and I–E locus of control as well as sex differences among Kuwaiti men ( n = 189) and women ( n = 210) employees. Women had significantly higher means on scales of job stress, neuroticism, and external locus of control, while men scored significantly higher on job satisfaction. Analysis yielded significant and positive correlations of job stress with neuroticism and locus of control of both men and women. Job satisfaction scores correlated significantly but negatively with external locus of control for both sexes, while job satisfaction had a positive correlation with Type A behavior for women only. The significant correlation between job stress and job satisfaction was negative.

The University

The Academic Locus of Control Scale was administered to 1089 students (500 males and 589 females) from The University of the West Indies. Statistically significant differences were noted by age (18 to 40 years), with older students scoring more internal, and also by faculty, with students in the Faculty of Arts scoring more internal than peers in other faculties of the university.

Control Scale

The factor structure of the Comrey Personality Scales was replicated using a sample of suburban Denver residents ( N = 377). Correlations are reported between the Comrey scales and age, socioeconomic status, sex, body type, a short locus of control scale, the Raven Progressive Matrices Test, and the Neuroticism and Extraversion scales from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Correlations with self-reported leisure time activities and nervous habits provide a partial validation of the Comrey Activity, Stability, and Extraversion scales.
