The present scudy sought to explore this relationship in more depth using Levenson's (1974) modified internal-external locus of control scale. A questionnaire was given anonymously to 42 investigatory and administrative state police officers at ...

Internal-External Locus of Control and Verbal Fluency
Psychological Reports, 196984 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, 1971The 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, 1976Previous 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 ...

Is Internal-External Control an Age-Related Variable?
The Journal of Psychology, 1976Following the suggestion proposed by Duke, Shaheen, and Nowicki, this study was designed to test the basic hypothesis that the meaning of internal-external control (I-E) may differ with age. Such variables as age, educational level, socioeconomic status, self-confidence, etc., which have consistently been found to relate to I-E for children through ...
