Abstract
45 black and 8 Puerto Rican children indicated more perceived external control than did a comparison group of 25 Jewish Ss in grades 5 and 6, and this was related to low need-achievement. When the minority children read a story making perceived internal control more salient, measurements indicated an increase in both need-achievement and internal control.Keywords
