The Psychometric Properties of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scales in an Alcoholic Population.

Russell, Stephen F.; Ludenia, Krista

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v39 n3 p453-59 May 1983

Examined the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scales with alcoholic patients (N=100). The three MHLC Scales appear to measure largely independent dimensions of locus of control beliefs specifically related to health. Factor analyses suggest that the instrument is factorily valid.
