Analyzed the factor structure of an abbreviated version of Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. The 11-item scale was administered in both the original forced-choice format and a 4-point rating format. The data were derived from administration of the scale as part of the National Longitudinal Survey with 7,439 young adults. Maximum likelihood factor analysis with oblique rotation gave a 3-factor solution for both the forced- choice and rating formats, but the resulting factors were not easily interpretable, and the subscales had high intercorrelations and unacceptably low reliability coefficients. Subsequent analyses suggested that a single- factor solution was more appropriate. The 4-point rating format appeared to be more interpretable and had the highest reliability coefficient.

2.	Identifying Social Drinkers Likely to Consume Alcohol During Pregnancy: Findings from a Prospective Cohort Study Psychological Reports 101,3 Pt 1 (December 2007): 857-870. Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Ammons Scientific, Ltd. Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. To prevent fetal alcohol syndrome, some social drinkers who may become pregnant need more than a brief caution, but they can be difficult to detect in clinical settings. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data from 754 women who completed up to four alcohol history interviews during their college-age years (18-21), and semiparametric group-based models were used to identify groups more likely to drink during a future pregnancy. Two drinking trajectories were observed. About 87% of the women were occasional or nondrinkers during their college-age years; 13% were frequent drinkers. Among first-births to women 22 yr. and older, the adjusted odds ratio for alcohol use during that pregnancy for frequent drinkers versus occasional and nondrinkers was 2.29 (95% confidence interval: 1.25-4.17). This finding suggests women who report frequent drinking during their college-age years may require additional assistance to reduce their risk of drinking during subsequent pregnancies.

4.	Locus of Control as a Dispositional Determinant of Men's Traditional Sex-Role Attitudes Psychological Reports 85,3 (December 1999): 1041-1044. Also: http://ammons.ammonsscientific.com/php/display_smry.php Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Ammons Scientific, Ltd. Keyword(s): Attitudes; Control; Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Sex Roles; Wives, Work; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The associations among measures of locus of control and attitudes toward women who work were assessed using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 1,229 young adult males. Significant positive correlations, ranging from .09 to .14, were found among locus of control and men's negative stereotypes of women who work, which suggests that males who feel a lack of personal control may oppose women working outside of the home. The results also indicate that men with greater personal control may be more accepting of women in nontraditional sex roles than men with an external locus of control. Negative stereotypes of women who work and male self-preservation may explain these relationships.

5.	Self-Esteem and Men's Negative Stereotypes of Women Who Work Psychological Reports 83,3, pt 1 (December 1998): 920-922. Also: http://ammons.ammonsscientific.com/php/display_smry.php Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Ammons Scientific, Ltd. Keyword(s): Attitudes; Self-Esteem; Sex Roles; Women's Roles; Women's Studies Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Explored the relationships between self-esteem and attitudes toward women who work using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 4,386 22-30 yr. old males. Significant, negative associations were found among the measures, which suggests that men with low scores on self-esteem tend to oppose the employment of women, while men with high self-esteem scores are likely to approve of women working. These findings support previous research on the relationship between self-esteem and prejudice as well as indicate possible sources of unequal treatment of men and women in the workplace.
