Construct Validation of the Internal-External Locus of Control as Measured by an Abbreviated 11-ITE IE Scale Ph.D. Dissertation, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Control; Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Research Methodology; Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Scale Construction; Work Attitudes The study focuses on construct validation of internal-external control, of reinforcement as measured by an abbreviated new scale of Internal-External Locus of Control (I-E) and administered to a national probability sample of over 4,000 young men, 16 to 26 years of age in l968. The first chapter deals with the definition of I-E, its theoretical underpinnings, and the early studies related to development of the 29-item forced-choice scale and other measures of I-E. The second chapter relates I-E to various other constructs that bear a similarity and are in some fashion related to it. The third chapter summarizes literature pertaining to construct validity of I-E. Chapter Four examines the hypothesized relationship between I-E and factors believed to influence I-E, and factors assumed to be influenced by I-E. Chapter Five deals with the methodology as related to sampling, interviewing of individuals, and the statistical operations to be performed. The results and their interpretation and discussion are presented in Chapter Six. The conclusion and summary are provided in Chapter Seven. |
