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.

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 ...

Clinical supervision and internal locus of control

Journal of Paramedic Practice, 2009
The concept of Locus of Control (LOC) has been written about extensively since the term was first introduced by Rotter in 1966. Locus of control and a person's position along a bipolar scale of internalism to externalism has been shown to have effect on many aspects of one's life. Position on the scale varies according to the aspect of an individual's
