Family Structure, Fate Control, and Counter-Normative Political Beliefs Among Lower-Class Black Students

Glautz, Oscar

College Student Journal, 10, 2, 121-125, Sum 76

Data from black students (n=200) pointed to father-present versus father-absent differences on a four-item index of internal-external control (for males and females equally) and on four measures of political disaffection--three of the four for males alone. Variations in fate control minimized male political differences. Results are discussed. (Author)
