An Examination Of Multidimensionality In The Locus Of Control Construct: Its Relationship To Need Achievement

This study examined the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and need for achievement (n Ach) in view of evidence that LOS is a multidimensional construct. An attempt was made to determine if correlations between one or more of the specific factors of LOC and n Ach existed. An effort was also made to evaluate the validity of the Rotter scale as an adequate assessment of LOC.
