Abstract
In a study with 427 alcoholics, including 131 male and 99 female Native Americans and 161 male and 36 female Caucasians, the Rotter I-E Locus of Control scale yielded significant sex and race differences. The men tended more toward internality than the women and Caucasians tended more toward an internal social attribution than the Native Americans. There was no significant interaction of sex and race.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
