Abstract
A correlational analysis of the unidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale with the multidimensional Levenson Locus of Control Scale indicated that the area-specific scale relates to ‘Chance’ and ‘Internal’ attributions of influence in health. The correlation with ‘Powerful Others’ dimension of Levenson did not approach significance ( ns = 106 men, 59 women, 17 to 21 yr. old).This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
