Locus of Control in Hispanic and Mainstream Samples Interim Technical Report ONR-25, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Department of Defense, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Defense Keyword(s): Hispanics; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Military Recruitment; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Using a nationwide sample of young people aged 14-21 in 1979, this study examined: (1) whether the similarity between Mainstream and Hispanic Navy recruits previously found by Hui, Triandis and Chang is generalizable to the general population of the same age; and (2) whether Hispanic and Mainstream, men and women, who were both low and high socio-economic status subjects employ the same meaning of locus of control. The NLSY is comprised of both civilian and military subjects. It was found that all civilian groups are similar to each other, regarding the meaning of this construct. However, the military groups are rather different from the civilian. The previous finding of no difference between Mainstream and Hispanic recruits is also replicated in this national sample. |
