Popis: | This study investigated the assumption, gleaned from several locus of control studies, that "expectancy" and "experience" are interchangeable constructs. All subjects were given the Health Locus of Control Scale (HLC) and the Tiffany Experienced Control Scales (EC). Factor analysis revealed that the scores of the HLC (as a variant of locus of control) did not load on the four main factors of the EC. These results do not support other locus of control studies concerning the interchangeability of expectancy and experience. These results also provide emphasis for the further clarification of the relationships of these two constructs. |
