Teenage Locus of Control and Adult Unemployment Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Racial Differences; Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Unemployment; Unemployment, Youth; Work Attitudes This study examines the relationship between locus of control and subsequent unemployment experience for a national probability sample of teenagers. Using multiple regression analysis to control for a variety of individual differences, the influence of "internal-external" attitudes held as a teenager on subsequent unemployment experience in the adult labor market is determined. The results support the notion that "external" teenagers can be expected to experience longer periods of unemployment in the future relative to "internals". In addition, though not entirely conclusive, there is evidence that I-E is an important determinant of black-white unemployment differentials. |
