Older Men's Perceptions of Personal Control: The Effect of Health Status Sociological Perspectives 29,3 (July 1986): 397-419. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1389027 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: University of California Press Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Control; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control) Data from the Older Men's cohort of the NLS are analyzed in this study to investigate antecedents of perceptions of personal control. Particular attention is given to the effects of individual health factors. The findings support the life stress model which assumes that social conditions and environmental changes impact individual perceptions of control via opportunities and resources for carrying out efficacious actions. The analysis suggests, however, that various untested moderating conditions determine the nature and direction of the impact. Future investigations are needed to identify these moderating variables and specify their differential effects. |
