Abstract:

Fifty undergraduate students took part in an investigation of the relationship among locus of control, mental ability, self-esteem, and alienation. The results suggested that alienation is related to external locus of control and low self-esteem. No significant association was found for mental ability and alienation. The relationships among locus of control, mental ability, self-esteem, and the alienation subcomponents of powerlessness, normlessness, and social isolation were explored.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among scores on vocational interests, self-esteem, and locus of control for high school students. Grade and sex differences were also examined. 1364 high school students ranging in age from 14 to 19 years of age were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children, and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory. High school students with higher scores on self-esteem and showing an orientation toward internal locus of control expressed more interests in a variety of vocational themes than adolescents with lower scores on self-esteem and scores for external locus of control. Sex and grade differences in vocational interests of adolescents were also noted. The findings were discussed in light of theoretical and practical considerations.

Abstract:

The contributions of frequency of positive and negative self-statements and their ratio, locus of control, and depression in prediction of self-esteem were examined. Volunteers were 145 college students (100 women and 45 men) who were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory-Adult Form, Automatic Thought Questionnaire—Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. Intercorrelations suggested significant relationships among variables. The magnitude of the relationship was strongest between the frequency of negative self-statements and self-esteem. These results are consistent with and lend further support to prior studies of Kendall, et al. and Schwartz and Michaelson.

Abstract:

Previous research has found that people with an internal weight locus of control (beliefs in self-control over weight) are more likely to join and stay in weight-loss programs and have higher self-esteem than those who have an external locus of control (e.g., belief that weight is due to luck, genes). There has been no research on how weight locus of control affects the self-esteem of people who are not average weight or not satisfied with their weight. The present study predicted that for people who are overweight, weight locus of control would be negatively related to self-esteem. The results confirmed this interaction between weight locus of control and weight on self-esteem for women, but not for men. The second prediction was that internal weight locus of control would have negative social consequences in terms of greater negative stereotyping of obese people, and this was also confirmed for women. Because weight loss is rarely permanent, it would seem important to change people's attitudes about the lack of control that they (and others) have over body weight.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the relationship between some elements of self-concept (general self-esteem and locus of control) and going in for sport in adolescence. The relationship between going in for sport and variables of self-concept (general self-esteem and external locus of control) was investigated in a sample of 300 adolescent boys and girls (150 sportsmen and 150 non-sportsmen). Modification of the Rosenberg?s General self-esteem scale and Bezinovic-Savcic?s Scale of externality were used to measure variables of self-concept. The significant positive correlation between variables of going in for sport and general selfesteem, as well as negative ones between variables of going in for sport and external locus of control were found in the whole sample of subjects and in the sample of boys, but not of girls. The sex role stereotypes and greater importance that the culture puts on success in sport for boys have contributed to such results. The sex differences in correlations between variables of self-concept and going in for sport suggest that going in for sport influences general self-esteem and locus of control in adolescents through social feedback and social evaluation of sport achievement and physical fitness. .

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus is an incurable lifelong disease that is treated with insulin injections, diet, exercise and monitoring of capillary blood glucose three to four times a day which can greatly affect the lives of the adolescent patient and his family. Studies postulated that there is a correlation between psycho-social factors (self-esteem, and locus of control) and diabetic control of patients with type 1 DM at time of diagnosis and at least one year after. Our study was conducted on two groups (Group A) newly diagnosed T1DM patients were selected randomly from diabetic clinic between the ages of 10-12 years old, and (Group B) diagnosed with T1DM for at least one year or more, after matching with group A for sex and age. Comparison between group A and group B showed a statistical significant difference between both groups regarding self esteem (p= 0.017*). Moreover, regarding group (A) although there was no significant difference between controlled and non -controlled group regarding self-esteem, the locus of control (powerful others) domain the mean of controlled group was (8.14 Â± 2.41) versus (6.81 Â± 1.08) among non- controlled group, this difference was statistically significant (p=0.035). In-group B, there was significant difference between mean of self-esteem and internal locus of control domain among the controlled group versus non -controlled group (p=0.014, 0.02) respectively. We can conclude that evaluating locus of control and self-esteem may become essential tools to guide health actions directed to DM patients. And that interventions aimed at improving self-esteem and internal locus of control may improve adherence to diabetes regimen. So we recommend that Counselors and educators world-wide should attend to self-esteem and locus of control in their interventional courses and programs.

Abstract:

A 1991 study by Pinto and Priest demonstrated the effectiveness of advertisements employing moderate levels of guilt in inducing guilt responses in subjects. Because individuals' responses to guilt are often influenced by their specific personality characteristics, researchers have pointed to the potential moderating effects of individual difference variables such as level of self-esteem and locus of control on individuals' susceptibility to guilt appeals. A study was conducted to evaluate the possibility that self-esteem and locus of control can act as covariates across three treatment levels of guilt advertising. From a sample of 57 working mothers, advertisements stimulating medium and high levels of guilt elicited significantly greater feelings of guilt in subjects than the control advertisement stimulating low guilt. However, the relationship between susceptibility to guilt appeals and self-esteem and locus of control was not observed to covary.

Abstract:

Nowadays, there are several phenomenons of suicide in-between university students whom are doing their thesis in Indonesia. One of the sources of suicide is emotional distress. Emotional distress is an uncomfortable state which can cause several lose, usually marked by depression and/or anxiety symptoms. There exist a few anti-stress variables to help coping process toward emotional distress, two of which are self-esteem and locus of control. This experiment’s goal is to figure out the state of the three variables on university students currently doing their thesis, while figuring out the relations of the anti-stress variables to emotional distress in the process of doing so. The participants in this experiment is 163 university students from X University currently doing their thesis, with age between 20-24 years old. From the data analysis, there are two conclusions. First, emotional distress is higher in university student doing thesis than common individual. Second, emotional distress can be predicted by self-esteem; furthermore, self-esteem is predicted by locus of control. The experiment is hoped to be able to provide insight in preventing emotional distress, specifically in university student struggling with their thesis. Saat ini, terdapat beberapa fenomena bunuh diri di kalangan mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi di Indonesia. Salah satu penyebab naiknya tingkat bunuh diri adalah emotional distress. Emotional distress adalah keadaan tidak menyenangkan yang dapat mengakibatkan berbagai kerugian, umumnya ditandai dengan gejala depresi dan/atau kecemasan. Terdapat beberapa variabel anti-stres yang terbukti mampu mengurangi emotional distress, dua di antaranya adalah self-esteem dan locus of control. Penelitian ini bertujuan memeroleh gambaran ketiga variabel ini pada mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi, sekaligus mencari peran kedua variabel anti-stres tersebut terhadap emotional distress pada partisipan penelitian. Partisipan penelitian meliputi 163 orang mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi, dengan rentang usia 20 hingga 24 tahun. Berdasarkan analisis data, diperoleh dua kesimpulan. Pertama, tingkat emotional distress pada mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi, lebih tinggi dibandingkan individu pada umumnya. Kedua, emotional distress dapat diprediksi oleh self-esteem; dan lebih lanjut self-esteem diprediksi oleh locus of control. Penelitian ini bermanfaat memberikan insight dalam pencegahan emotional distress, khususnya pada mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi.

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between jealousy and self-esteem, insecurity, external locus of control and sex. The sample consisted of 128 undergraduates who completed four self report inventories. A step-wise multiple regression analysis indicated that self-esteem and insecurity accounted for 28% of the total variance in jealousy. Contrary to prediction, however, external locus of control did not account for a significant amount of the variance in jealousy. Results are discussed in terms of the contributing roles of each predictor variable.

Abstract:

Well-controlled research investigating psychological responses following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is lacking. In addition, much of the literature is based on depression following SCI and is dominated by data from the USA. The effects of SCI on perceptions of control, self-esteem and coping styles over the first year of SCI were investigated. Forty-one acute spinal injured patients and 41 able-bodied controls matched for age, sex and education completed a variety of standardised questionnaires on three occasions over one year. The instruments included the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and an adapted Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC) Scale which measures coping styles, including fighting spirit, helplessness/hopelessness and fatalism. The SCI group were found to be more external in their perceptions of control, lower in self-esteem, and more helpless/hopeless and fatalistic in attitude than the controls. The majority of the SCI group had scores reflecting adaptive coping styles and intact levels of self-esteem but there were still a substantial proportion who displayed maladaptive coping styles (e.g. external locus of control, fatalism, helplessness). No differences in scores across time were found for either group. Implications for psychological rehabilitation are discussed.

Abstract:

A path-analytic model was employed to examine the predicted relationships among self-esteem, locus of control, self-appraisal, and attributions. Participants completed two individual difference measures (self-esteem and locus of control) and then worked on a test that they believed was a managerial selection instrument. They then rated their own performance on the instrument and made attributions for their performance. The model received strong support and each hypothesized path was statistically significant. The results are discussed with respect to recent work by Levy and Foti (1989, 1990) and Farh and Dobbins (1989b) and a general framework is suggested for future research.

Abstract:

Self-image or self-consciousness comprises thoughts, feelings, evaluations and predictions about oneself and one's own behavior. Subject of the research is the linkage between self-conceptualization of adolescents and their value orientations. The aim is to determine whether there exists a correlation between locus of control and general self-esteem as elements of self-conceptualisation, on the one side, and value orientations of adolescents on the other. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the locus of control scale by Bezinovic and Savcic were used for studying the components of self-conceptualisation. Values were operationalised using the desirability of certain goals in life and preference of different lifestyles. Research was conducted on the sample of 176 grammar school pupils aged 15 to 18. The findings indicate that adolescents who are characterized by the external locus of control accept hedonist, activist, social and cognitive lifestyle in a larger degree. Self-esteem is positively correlated with the aspiration towards becoming rich, and negatively with the desire for acquiring knowledge, care about others and activist way of living. The finding that the young of higher self-esteem are not oriented towards education, helping others and advocating for common good, can be ascribed to insufficient appreciation of these values in the environment they live in. The obtained findings point out to the need to reaffirm and encourage these values in youth, as well as to pay more attention to value education of pupils in school.

Abstract:

This article demonstrates that the impact of role models (RMs) on students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention is moderated by their entrepreneurial experience and personality variables such as self-esteem and locus of control. 276 students enrolled in an entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) were exposed to either a positive or a negative sensitisation message by alumni who became entrepreneurs to test its impact on the students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Findings indicate that students with entrepreneurial experience, high self-esteem and internal locus of control are less impacted by entrepreneurial role models. We discuss the relevance and effectiveness of role models in EEPs.

Abstract:

With two studies, the authors sought to clarify how alcoholism relates to beliefs about drinking control and self-esteem by varying the stage of alcohol involvement. The stages were active abuser, commitment to change, early recovery, and late recovery. As hypothesized inStudy 1, long-term recovering abstainers had greater drinking-related internal locus of control, self-efficacy about abstaining, and self-esteem than those in detoxification. Unexpectedly, active abusers did not differ from the long-term recovering abstainers. Study 2 successfully discriminated these extreme groups with a measure of self-deception. Active abusers' positive beliefs about drinking control and self-esteem were associated with high self-deception. Self-beliefs at commitment to change were negative, but self-deception was still high. Early and late recovery was associated with positive self-beliefs and significantly lower self-deception.

A stepwise discriminant analysis indicated that five variables combined to yield a statistically significant discrimination among low, middle, and high scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. The classification analysis indicated that 77.1% ( n = 111) of the undergraduate students were correctly classified; 93.2% (82 of 88) were correctly classified as low scorers and 73.3% (18 of 46) were correctly classified as high scorers.

Abstract:

This study is a two year follow-up of previous longitudinal research which investigated the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) on perceptions of control, self-esteem and coping styles over the first year of SCI. Persons with SCI and a demographically matched able-bodied control group completed standardised questionnaires on four occasions over two years. The instruments included the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale (LCB), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and an adapted Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC), which measures coping styles, including fighting spirit, helplessness/hopelessness and fatalism. Results obtained in the first year were replicated in the two year data, except for the LCB Scale. After one year, the SCI group were found to perceive their life to be externally controlled, to be lower in self-esteem, and have more helpless/hopeless and fatalistic attitudes than the controls. There were no differences in self esteem and coping styles after two years for the SCI group. However, locus of control fluctuated over the two years, though there was a trend for the SCI group to be more externally focussed. There were no significant interactions between group and time. Implications for the adjustment of SCI persons are discussed.

Results indicated that sensitizers tend to report lower levels of self-esteem; greater alienation, anomy, and conflict; and externality. Further analyses identified alienation and particularly self-esteem as best predictors of defensive orientation.

Abstract:

The impact of an outdoor challenge education program on self-esteem and locus of control of children with behavior disorders was investigated. The subjects consisted of four self-contained elementary special education classrooms of boys with behavior disorders. The experimental group consisted of two classrooms (N = 14), and the control group consisted of two classrooms (N = 17). An untreated control group design with pretest and post-test, expanded by the researcher to include two additional groups (experimental and control) without a pretest, was employed as a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. There were no significant differences in either self-esteem or locus of control between the control and experimental groups as a consequence of the outdoor challenge program.

Abstract:

The present study examined the relationships between four personality traits, humor styles, and happiness. Replicating previous research, happiness was positively correlated with four personality traits: extraversion, locus of control, self-esteem, and optimism. Further, happiness positively related to self-enhancing and affiliative humor styles; it related negatively to self-defeating and aggressive humor styles. Thus, happy people habitually engage in positive uses of humor and avoid engaging in negative uses of humor in daily life. We also found support for our hypothesis. People high in extraversion, locus of control, self-esteem, and optimism are happier because they engage in positive humor in daily life.

Abstract Objective To investigate to what extent locus of control, self-esteem, psychological distress, physical exercise, as well as socio-demographic factors are associated with obesity in 42-year-old adults in a longitudinal birth cohort study. Method The sample consisted of 5645 participants born in Great Britain in 1970 and followed up at 10, 34 and 42 years with data on body mass index measured at 34 and 42 years. Results There was an increase of adult obesity from 15.5% at age 34 to 21.2% at 42 years. Locus of control and self-esteem measured at age 10 years, psychological distress and educational qualifications assessed at age 34, and current occupational levels and physical exercise were all significantly associated with adult obesity at age 42. The associations remained significant after controlling for birth weight and gestation, maternal and paternal BMI, childhood BMI, and intelligence. Conclusion Childhood locus of control and self-esteem, educational qualifications, psychological distress and physical exercise were all significantly and independently associated with adult obesity.

Abstract:

An Alcohol Consumption Questionnaire was designed to investigate 104 high school and 104 college students' drinking patterns in actual and hypothetical pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral situations. Students were also given Rotter's I-E Locus of Control Scale and Rosenberg's Self-esteem Inventory. College students drank significantly more than high school students after experiencing hypothetical pleasant events. Both groups drank more after hypothetical pleasant events than hypothetical unpleasant events and hypothetical neutral events. There were no significant group differences after experiencing hypothetical unpleasant events or neutral events. Students with high scores on locus of control tended to have higher self-esteem, greater drinking after hypothetical unpleasant events, hypothetical and actual pleasant events, and hypothetical and actual neutral events. Frequencies of actual drinking and hypothetical drinking were highly correlated.

Abstract:

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of a vocational horticulture program on the self-development of female inmates in a federal prison camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas. Subjects were sampled from the inmate population of FPC-Bryan and assigned to two groups. Group A was comprised of 36 inmates participating in the Master Gardener program and Group B, the control group, was comprised of 26 inmates who were not participants in the Master Gardener program. A confidential 55-item survey was administered in a pretest-posttest fashion and contained questions from Rotter's (1966) Internal-External Control of Reinforcement Scale and the Multidimensional IE Scale (Gurin et al., 1969), Pugh's (1992) Prison Locus of Control Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). No significant differences were found between the pre- or post-tests of the Master Gardener and control groups. In addition, no significant differences were found for generalized internal-external locus of control and situation specific internal-external locus of control when pretest and posttest mean scores were compared within each group. However, Master Gardener and control participants significantly increased their self-esteem and global life satisfaction scores between the pre- and post-tests. Due to the high occurrence of research subjects reporting a history of drug or alcohol abuse, the pre- and posttest mean scores of drug or alcohol abusers and nonabusers participating in the Master Gardener program were compared. No significant differences as a result of participation in the Master Gardener program were found for nonabusers for all variables tested and for generalized internal-external locus of control and global self-esteem for drug or alcohol abusers. Substance abusers did significantly increase their situation specific internal-external locus of control and their global life satisfaction while participating in the Master Gardener program.

Abstract— In this globalization era, hospitality or hotelier investment opportunities are growing rapidly, but not without a formidable competition, which is why these growing opportunities and threats have to be recognised by the people in this industry. One of the most important strategy in facing the global era business competition is to convince the costumer that the hotel they are chosing is better and has more benefits than the rest of the competition. Convincing the customer means building a relation through positive perception, positive image and positive experiences to finally gain their trusts. This is where a highly motivated Public Relations is needed as the frontline of the company. Judge, Erez & Bono (1998) stated that self esteem, self efficacy and the locust of control are the three core-self evaluation that form the basic for building individual work motivation.The purpose of this study is to see the influences of these three core-self evaluation on the work motivation of Public Relations in facing the hotel business competition. When analyzing the influences of these three variables on the work motivation of a Public Relations, the researcher uses the cybernetic tradition approach. Through this approach the researcher then uses the Expectancy Value Theory in analyzing the influences of self esteem, self efficacy, and the locus of control on the work motivation.The sample of this research is the Public Relations practitioner of Santika Indonesia Hotel and Resort. This research uses the path analysis technique. The SPSS calculation shows that the three variables bring positive influences towards the work motivation with the self efficacy line coefficient value of 0.322, self efficacy 0.340, and the locus of control with 0.346.These results show that the more positive the self esteem, self efficacy and the locus of control value of a Public Relations, the higher the work motivation of the Public Relations of Santika Hotel and Resort in facing the business competition in this global era.

Abstract:

People have different perception about themselves, especially in the case of they are independent or interdependent people in their life. The article discussed the different of self concept related to cultural differences, especially between individual and collective cultures. The different concept on “self” brings a big influence on cognitive development, motivation, and emotion. On the other hand, culture also has impacts on human behavior development, especially those related to locus of control and self esteem. Both individual and collective cultures have some impacts on to what extend a person can be a supervisor towards his own behavior. Locus of control can be available either in internal or external of a person. Collective culture is more supportive in achieving global self esteem, while individual culture more tends to achieve self competence, another aspect of self esteem. Related to the determination of the five-factor model personality that has been acknowledged as the basic of basic human personality, it can be concluded that culture, self, and personality can be built from human internal, combined by some inputs of his environment which play important role to activate those mechanism.

Abstract:

Previous research has cited the need for leisure education programs to ensure that leisure-time experiences serve to enhance elderly individuals' psychological well-being. This study sought to determine the effects of a leisure education program on perceived leisure control, perceived leisure competence, and self-esteem among elderly patients in a day hospital. Fifty-three volunteer participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control group conditions. The experimental group received a leisure education program which occurred one hour per week for eight weeks. Both groups were administered a test battery, before and after the program, to assess the impact of the leisure education program on the dependent variables locus of control, perceived competence, and self-esteem while controlling for possible intervening variables. The results of an analysis of covariance for perceived leisure competence were statistically significant. The findings for the other dependent variables, leisure locus of control and self-esteem, were not significant. The implications of these results for researchers and the delivery of leisure services in day hospitals are discussed.

Abstract:

Self-discrepancies influence psychological well-being and self-acceptance across several domains. Middle to late childhood is a critical age for the development of self-discrepancies (SD). The present study was aimed at investigating antecedents of actual/ideal self-discrepancies in 9- to 11-year-old children by adopting a repeated measure design, with two measurement occasions. At the baseline (T1), children (N=261) completed a self-esteem questionnaire, a measure of actual/ideal SDs we developed around the Five Factor Model domains, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire; 4 months later (T2) a subsample (N=96) provided self-ratings again. Children's parents (N=195) referred on their own feelings towards their children along the Profile of Mood States as well as on their perceived locus of control of their children's undesirable behaviors; a subsample of parents (N=80) provided ratings again 4 months later. Principal component analyses from children's self-discrepancies at T1 yielded four domains: Intellect, Emotional Stability, Impulse Control, and Sociability. Self-rated discrepancies across time were moderately stable. Concurrently, higher SDs in Intellect were associated with lower children's self-esteem. Cross-lagged pattern analyses showed that lower self-esteem predicted increases in children's SDs, but not vice versa; in addition, change levels in SDs were correlated with change levels in self-esteem. Parents' perceived internal locus of causality of their children's undesirable behaviors also accounted for changes in children's SDs. Parents' feelings of depression accounted for increases in girls' SDs. The present findings further support the association between self-esteem and SDs, indicate the direction of association across time, and suggest possible mechanisms by which parents affect the development of the children's self-views.
