“…People with serious psychiatric illnesses have a high probability of having external locus of control (Altıntas, 2003;Wood, Hillman, & Sawilowsky, 1996;Yalom, 1999). When the personality traits of individuals with internal locus of control are examined closely, positive aspects are found (Kesici, 2008;Kesici, Şahin, & Aktürk, 2009). For this reason, the fact that people with external locus of control show more anxiety was an expected result in our study.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine whether trait anxiety and coping with stress vary significantly according to locus of control. The study was carried out with 514 (286 female and 228 male) Turkish university students, aged between 18 and 27. It was found that average trait anxiety scores of the students with internal locus of control were significantly lower than those of the students with external locus of control and that average problem-focused coping with stress scores of the students with internal locus of control were significantly higher than those of the students with external locus of control. There was no significant difference in incidence of avoidance and seeking social support between the students with internal locus of control and those students with external locus of control.

“…According to Kesici, Sahin and Akturk (2009), there are significant gender differences in consumers' cognitive thinking styles. Females typically score higher in cognitive thinking strategies in terms of memorisation and analytical thought processes than men; and they are, therefore, more likely to experience information overload -and to reject a technology.…”

The advent of technology has improved consumers' daily lives; but it has also affected some consumers, by engendering fear of complex technological products. Feelings of anxiety and fear lead to the avoidance of technology; and this fear is known as 'technophobia'. This study aims to establish whether gender differences in technophobia and the adoption of high-technology consumer products continue to exist in this digital age, or whether things have changed over time. The findings show that women are less optimistic than men; they exhibit higher levels of risk-aversion; and they have higher cognitive-processing than do men -when considering the purchases of high-technology products. The greatest challenge in stimulating the adoption of high-technology products is the perceived risk that a consumer experiences when making a purchasing decision. Although marketers tend to assume that in the modern digital age, men and women are consuming electronics in the same manner, this study shows that this is not necessarily the case; and as a new product is introduced to the market, marketers need to employ differentiating strategies, in order to target both men and women successfully.

“…This finding is consistent with the study by Park & Kim (1998) regarding the relationship between locus of control and student academic achievement. The empirical study conducted by Kesici, Sahin & Akturk (2009) showed a significant impact of internal locus of control on student academic achievement. As expected internal locus of control pupils outperformed external locus of control pupils across the treatment mode.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of locus of control (Internal & external) on the learning of music theory among Jordanian primary pupils. The independent variable was the locus of control (internal & external). The dependent variables were the post test score. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was carried out to examine the main effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings of this study showed that pupils with internal locus of control pupils performed significantly better than external locus of control pupils.
