School Psychology International, v23 n3 p342-54 Aug 2002

Evaluates the effects of a school-based social-cognitive training program on 14- and 15-year-old students' locus of control, as assessed by the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale. Girls in the training condition developed significantly in the direction of higher internal control, while neither boys in the training condition nor girls or boys in the comparison condition altered their locus of control. (Contains 40 references and 2 tables.) (GCP)
