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.

Internal-External Locus of Control and Environmental Cohesiveness

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1976
Subjects with high or low scores on Rotter's Social Reaction Inventory were required to solve word and nonsense anagrams.
