Abstract
Past research has involved various measures of locus of control. In the present study, Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Scale, Levenson's Internal, Power, and Chance scales and some items from Coleman's study of equality of educational opportunity were administered to northern white and southern black college students. In general, the relationships between the measures did not vary by race or sex. Multiple regression analyses showed that Rotter's I-E Scale was significantly related to Levenson's Chance and Internal scales; Power did not contribute to the multiple R. The correlations of the Coleman items with the Rotter and Levenson scales were low but in the expected direction.Keywords
