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

Subjects with high or low scores on Rotter's Social Reaction Inventory were required to solve word and nonsense anagrams. A significant interaction was found between the locus of control and the two types of anagrams, thus confirming the hypothesis that locus of control measures an individual's percep tion of the cohesiveness of the environment.
