Kivett, Vira R.; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, 32, 2, 203-209, Mar 77

This study determined relative importance of physical, psychological, and social variables to type of control that middle-aged adults (N=337) perceive over their environment. Factors reflective of the process of acculturation such as self-concept, religious motivation, and occupation maintained the strongest relationship to perceived control. (Author)
