Abstract
This study examined how each of two factors, coronary-prone behavior and locus of control, are related to suicidal ideation in a college population. 43 students (23 men and 20 women) completed the Jenkins-Glass College Activity Survey, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and a self-assessment questionnaire of suicidal ideation. Scores on Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control and the Suicidal Ideation Scale were significantly positively correlated. A nonsignificant value obtained for scores on the Jenkins-Glass College Activity Survey and the Suicidal Ideation Scale.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
