Abstract
The relationship between locus of control and perceived stress was investigated. 27 student-teachers who had earlier completed measures of teaching-specific and generalized locus of control expectancies rated events relevant to student-teaching on the extent to which they were considered stressful. Analysis indicated that student-teachers who felt they could influence the teaching environment rated the events as less stressful than those who felt they had less control. Generalized locus of control expectancies were not related to the perceived stressfulness of the events.
