Locus of Control and socioeconomic status does internal Locus of Control reflect real resources and opportunities or personal coping abilities
Social Science & Medicine, 1995Co-Authors: Ruth LandauAbstract:The present study attempts to provide answers to the following questions: Does Locus of Control reflect real opportunities and resources such as higher income and education, or internal strengths and coping abilities? Is it Locus of Control, socioeconomic status or the interaction between these two variables that affects depression level and life satisfaction? Data was obtained from a stratified random sample of 150 Israeli widows, under the age of 54. Multiple regressional analysis was followed by analysis of variance in order to examine the interaction hypothesis. The results, providing no support for the interaction hypothesis, indicate that both Locus of Control and socioeconomic status are related to depression and life satisfaction independently, and that Locus of Control reflects more than socioeconomic resources.

Smoking-specific Locus of Control.
Psychological Reports, 1991Co-Authors: J M Bunch, H G SchneiderAbstract:A smoking-specific Locus of Control scale was developed by modifying a drinking-related Locus of Control scale. The new scale, Rotter's I-E scale, and a smoking questionnaire were administered to 7...

Smoking-specific Locus of Control.
Psychological reports, 1991Co-Authors: J M Bunch, H G SchneiderAbstract:A smoking-specific Locus of Control scale was developed by modifying a drinking-related Locus of Control scale. The new scale, Rotter's I-E scale, and a smoking questionnaire were administered to 70 subjects. Estimates of reliability indicated that the new scale had reasonably high internal consistency. Scores differed as a function of subjects' reports of their addiction to cigarettes but not as a function of their current smoking status. 15 addicted individuals scored more externally on the new scale than did 24 nonaddicted individuals. There were no differences for scores on the Rotter I-E scale as a function of reported addiction or smoking status. The new scale appears to be a more sensitive measure of Locus of Control than Rotter's scale. The two Locus of Control scales were not significantly correlated, indicating their independence. Individuals apparently maintain a distinct Locus of Control for smoking rather than having a general expectation for Control.

Locus of Control and Low-Wage Mobility
2020Co-Authors: Daniel D. Schnitzlein, Jens StephaniAbstract:We investigate whether non-cognitive skills - in particular Locus of Control - are important determinants of the labour market processes at the low-wage margin. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we estimate dynamic multinomial logit models with random effects and investigate whether Locus of Control influences the probability of being higher-paid or low-paid as well as the probability of escaping low wages by moving up to higher-paid employment. Our results reveal a significant amount of state dependence in low pay even after Controlling for Locus of Control and other non-cognitive skills. Furthermore, compared to individuals with an external Locus of Control, individuals with a more internal Locus of Control have a significantly higher probability of being higher-paid instead of low-paid. Conditional on being low-paid, individuals with an internal Locus of Control additionally have a significantly higher probability of moving to higher-paid employment in the following year than individuals with an external Locus of Control.

Locus of Control and Low-Wage Mobility
Journal of Economic Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Daniel D. Schnitzlein, Jens StephaniAbstract:We investigate whether non-cognitive skills – in particular Locus of Control – are important determinants of mobility processes for male workers at the low-wage margin. Our results reveal a significant amount of state dependence in low pay even after Controlling for non-cognitive skills. Furthermore, compared to individuals with an external Locus of Control, individuals with a more internal Locus of Control have a significantly higher probability of being higher-paid instead of low-paid. Conditional on being low-paid, individuals with an internal Locus of Control have a significantly higher probability of moving to higher-paid employment in the following year than individuals with an external Locus of Control. Our results suggest that having an internal Locus of Control is an important non-cognitive skill in the context of low wages. It may help individuals to avoid low-wage jobs and to move from low-paid jobs to higher-paid jobs.

stress burnout and Locus of Control in german nurses
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2000Co-Authors: Norbert Schmitz, Willi Neumann, Roman OppermannAbstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Locus of Control and work-related stress on burnout in hospital staff nurses. A convenience sample of 361 staff nurses from nine units in five German hospitals were surveyed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Locus of Control Questionnaire and a Work-Related Stress Inventory. Causal modeling was used to explore the moderating effect of Locus of Control on burnout. Results support the hypothesized model and suggest that greater work-related stress and burnout would be associated with poorer Locus of Control in nurses. The findings supported the notion that perceived degree of Control is instrumental in enabling nurses to cope with stress and burnout.
