Abstract
167 high school freshmen were given the Rotter I-E scale. Ss were categorized into those participating in team sports, individual sports, intramural sports, and no athletic activities. An analysis of variance of mean I-E scores for the four groups yielded a nonsignificant F ratio. This outcome does not support the previous research which shows team-sport participants scored higher on internal control.Keywords
