Abstract
In an attempt to assess the relationship between locus of control and achievement, a newly developed locus of control (ANSIE) scale was administered to 48 Ss. Internality was related to high achievement for males, and externality for females. This unexpected result was replicated in two further studies. As in the past the Rotter I-E scale did not correlate with achievement. Results were discussed from a cultural role expectancy point of view.Keywords
