Abstract
Correlations between the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Questionnaire and several measures of academic achievement did not support the hypothesis that this scale measures locus of control attitudes in intellectual-academic achievement situations. Support was obtained for the hypothesis that a measure of more generalized locus of control attitudes was related to academic achievement.Keywords
