Hopelessness, internal-external locus of control, and depression

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1976
This research examined the relationship between hopelessness, defined as a system of negative expectancies about the future, and two theoretically relevant constructs: internal-external locus of control, and depression. Two samples of 67 and 44 undergraduates were administered the Beck, et al. Hopelessness Scale, the Rotter Internal-External Scale, and

The present scudy sought to explore this relationship in more depth using Levenson's (1974) modified internal-external locus of control scale.

Internal-External Locus of Control and Verbal Fluency

Psychological Reports, 1969
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.

Political Participation as a Function of Internal-External Locus of Control

Psychological Reports, 1971
The aim was to determine whether a person's political participation is a function of his “locus of control.” Ss completed Rotter's I-E scale (1966), a political activity scale, and a self-rating of political activity. Political participation was positively correlated with internal locus of control.

Internal-External Locus of Control and Performance on a Vigilance Task

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1976
Previous studies have demonstrated there are large individual differences in subjects' ability to perform on vigilance or watch-keeping tasks. This study used Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Locus of Control Scale to resolve some of the variance attributed to individual differences and tested the hypothesis that the internally controlled person is a ...

An Abbreviated Measure of Internal-External Locus of Control

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1974
Summary An abbreviated scale of internal-external locus of control (I-E) was administered to a national probability sample of 4,330 males ranging from 16 to 26 years of age. Psychometric properties (distributional characteristics, scale reliability, and item-test correlations) of the abbreviated scale were found to be similar to the full 29-item Rotter
