Locus of Control, Situational Control, Perceived Control and Stress: An Extension of the Congruency Hypothesis.

Stevens, Michael J.; And Others

Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v24 n4 p22-28 1987

Classified 96 undergraduates by locus of control and assigned them to either situational control, perceived control, or no control conditions. Measures of stress reactions during and after exposure to noxious noise revealed no significant interactions between dispositional and situational or perceived control, not supporting congruency hypothesis.
