The Relationship between Locus of Control and Academic Level and Sex of Secondary School Students.
Boss, Marvin W.; Taylor, Maurice C.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v14 n4 p315-22 Oct 1989
Relationships among locus of control, academic program, and sex of 267 ninth-graders were studied. As hypothesized, students in the advanced level program were more internally controlled than were general or basic level students. Although locus of control was related to academic level, its relationship to gender was not consistent. (SLD)
