Abstract
Children's Intellectual Achievement Responsibility scores were related to sex, school grade (4th vs 6th), socio-economic status, and race. Only sex showed significant main effects: girls scored higher than boys in acceptance of internal responsibility over-all and for positive outcomes. The possibility that situational effects may account for discrepancies between these race and class results and those obtained with other locus of control measures was considered.Keywords
