Locus of Control as a Measure of Ineffectiveness in Anorexia Nervosa.

Hood, Jane; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v50 n1 p3-13 Feb 1982

Using a multidimensional locus of control scale, scores of female anorexia nervosa patients (N=54) were compared to norms. Younger anorexic patients demonstrated higher internal control compared to norms on times related to fatalism and social-system control. Scores for older patients could not be differentiated from the norms. (Author)
