Tóm tắt

The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which personality characteristics could reliably predict whether young college women would be correctly classified as having internal or external locus of control. Ss were 51 women (25%) classified as having internal locus of control and 64 women (31%) classified as having external locus of control representing the extremes of the population of 205 young college women in a Southern liberal arts college. Instruments used were Rotter's Internal-External Scale and the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. The data supported the hypothesis that the personality factors would reliably predict locus of control. A canonical r of.52 was obtained, and 80% of the Ss were correctly classified with relatively more “hits” for the internal women. Ten factors were useful in the best discriminant function with by far the highest standardized weight being that of Factor Q3 (controlled, exacting will power). Internal women had greater will power, were more trusting, more imaginative, more sophisticated, more relaxed, more sociable, and more warmhearted, and had greater superego strength, confidence, and ego strength. The study supported the construct validity of the concept “locus of control.” © 1979 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
