Locus of control: Dimensionality and predictability using Likert scales
There is increasing evidence that the internal-external (I-E) concept is multidimensional. Responses to B. E. Collins's adaptation of Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale were factor analyzed for a sample of 275 US Army reservists. Four of the 5 factors found in this study sub...

| description | There is increasing evidence that the internal-external (I-E) concept is multidimensional. Responses to B. E. Collins's adaptation of Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale were factor analyzed for a sample of 275 US Army reservists. Four of the 5 factors found in this study substantially replicated Collins's 4 factors dealing with the easiness, justness, predictability, and political responsiveness of the world. The 5th factor dealt with the friendliness of the world. The total I-E scale and scales for the factors were shown to be selectively and moderately related to measures of Machiavellianism, intolerance of ambiguity, perceived quality of supervision, group atmosphere, and job satisfaction. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding personality and predicting consequences of sources of reinforcements in the world. (24 ref) |
