Nunn, Gary D.; And Others
Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v23 n4 p9-11 1986
Investigated the relationships between student locus of control and academic achievement in grades five through eight. The Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale (NSLOCS) was used to measure motivation, and the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) to assess academic achievement. Results indicated moderate inverse relationships between level of external control and academic achievement for both males and females. (Author/KS)
