Locus of Control and Marital Stability: A Longitudinal Study Journal of Divorce 4,1 (Fall 1981): 11-22. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J279v04n01_02 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Divorce; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Marital Disruption; Marital Stability; Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Socioeconomic Status (SES) The relationship between locus of control and marital stability of young men between the ages of 16-25 who were married is investigated. A factor analysis of the locus of control measures found three factors: a leadership scale, a personal scale and a fate scale. These men were followed for five years to ascertain those who were still married and those who were not. Analysis of covariance controlling for age and socio-economic status was conducted comparing the married group with the divorced or separated group. A significant difference in the two groups appeared on the leadership scale only. The implications for this finding are discussed in relation to clinical practice and future research. |

Income Changes Following Divorce and Remarriage Journal of Divorce 9,3 (Spring 1986): 75-88. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J279v09n03_06 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Income; Marital Disruption; Marital Status Data were examined for the young men and young women cohorts of the NLS. All respondents who were married were followed for 10 years and divided into three groups: (1) those who remained married, (2) those who divorced and did not remarry, and (3) those who divorced and remarried. Selected results show that female per capita income decreased substantially after divorce, while male per capita income increased substantially. Among those who remained married there was no difference between males and females in per capita family income. Differences between male and female income levels could not be attributed solely to number of dependents. Even among those with no dependents, females had much lower incomes than males. [(c)APA] |

Locus of Control and Marital Termination: Comparing Divorced and Widowed Women Journal of Divorce 11,3-4 (Spring-Summer 1988): 35-47. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J279v11n03_03 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Marital Dissolution; Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control) Survey data collected during 1967-1982 for a nationally representative, longitudinal study of mid-life women (N = 232) are used to examine whether termination of marriage was associated with change in locus of control orientation. Orientations both before and after termination are compared for divorced and widowed women and those who remained married. Both descriptive statistics and covariance analysis reveal that locus of control was stable following transitions out of marriage and their associated changes in lifestyle, family relations, and economic status.
