Internal Versus External Locus of Control and Performance in Controlled and Motivated Reading-Rate Improvement Instruction

Brandt, James David

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 22, 5, 377-382, Sep 75

The association of Rotter's Internal-External personality dimension and improvement in reading rate and comprehension was investigated in four reading instruction treatments and a fifth control condition. The motivated instruction was found more effective for increasing reading rate, without significantly affecting reading comprehension, than the controlled instruction. (Author)
