Relationships Among Locus of Control, Anxiety, and Valued-Goal Expectations
Strassberg, Donald S.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 41, 2, 319, Oct 73
Subjects were 55 male and 86 female undergraduates who completed the following: (1) Rotter's I-E Scale; (2) the IPAT Anxiety Scale, and (3) a questionnaire about expectations of achieving valued goals. Findings indicate that the well documented relationship between locus of control and anxiety holds for both males and females and that a lower expectation of achievement of valued goals is associated with both higher levels of anxiety and greater externality.
