Abstract
As a test of ''control theory'', 75 Type A/B undergraduates completed a multidimensional health locus-of-control measure. Type A behaviour correlated significantly with beliefs regarding personal control over health, but not with beliefs regarding chance or powerful others. These findings suggest Type As'' desire for control is multidimensional.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
