Internal Control, Powerful Others, and Chance: A Confirmation of Levenson's Factor Structure.

Walkey, Frank H.

Journal of Personality Assessment, v43 n5 p532-35 Oct 1979

The internal-external locus of control scales of Rotter and Levenson and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale were completed by 156 undergraduates. The three-factor structure underlying Levenson's questionnaire was clearly confirmed. Some new evidence for the multidimensionality of Rotter's scale was also presented. (Author/GDC)
