Locus of Control, Academic Achievement, and Follow Through in Appalachia.
Turner, Ralph R.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v3 n4 p367-75 Oct 1978
The development of locus of control was compared in rural Appalachian Follow Through participants and in lower and middle-class comparison groups. Participation in Follow Through did not enhance internality. A social class by sex interaction was found, and correlations between locus of control and achievement differed for social classes.
