Task Selection and Locus of Control in Two Ability Groups' Recall

Holloway, Richard L.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 2, 118-26, Apr 78

The subjects consisted of high and average ability high school students. Half selected their own task and half were assigned to a task based on their scores on Rotters's locus of control scale. Across all subjects, ability was found to be the only significant predictor of recall. (Author/BW)
