“…A research showed positive correlation between age and the level of internal locus of control (Blanchard-Fields & Irion, 1988). In other words, older people think that their behavior is influenced by their wills and decision making whereas youngsters are more prone to explaining their life circumstances and behaviors by referring to external factors (such as chance, fate…).…”

“…Locus of control is a good predictor of lots of psychological and educationally-relevant variables: self-esteem and hopelessness (Balbag, Cemrek & Mutlu, 2010), actual and future self-concept as well as academic self-efficacy (Sagone & De Caroli, 2014;Yeşilyurt, 2014), goals achievement (Kazak Çetinkalp, 2010), motivational persistence (Sariçam, 2015), and grade point average -GPA (Hasan & Khalid, 2014).…”

Their ages ranged between 18 and 27 years old. After excluding eight items with poor psychometric characteristics, a unidimensional underlying factor structure was examined of the TALCS from the data. The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's Alpha) for the revised version of the TALCS scale was .96. The mean value of their years of study was calculated as M = 3.02 whereas the standard deviation was SD = 1.24. Gender differences in academic locus of control were not statistically significant at predefined alpha level of .05. The correlation between participants' academic locus of control and their age was very small and statistically insignificant. Some implications of these findings were discussed as well as suggestions for future studies in this field of pedagogic psychology.

“…Furthermore, there are data available which demonstrate that the internal health locus of control has a favourable effect on the immune system, while lack of control, and helplessness, can prove to have the opposite effect (Ścigała, 2001). Being convinced about the lack of control over events can lead to learned helplessness (Mutlu, Balbag, & Cerek, 2010).…”

The belief that an individual can influence and control the course of events is a factor which enables a person to overcome difficulties. Some studies, however, have questioned the universality of this statement. This study aims to investigate and explore the relationship between the self-health locus of control and the effectiveness of cooperation in the treatment process in adolescents with chronic diseases. participants and procedureOne hundred and sixty-four adolescent patients suffering from chronic diseases (61 girls and 103 boys) ranging from 11 to 17 years old participated in the study. Eighty-seven had primary hypertension and 77 had type 1 diabetes. To investigate their sense of health control we used the Health Locus of Control Scale (HLC). Cooperation in the treatment process was assessed using a 4-item scale completed by a doctor. resultsBetter results in the treatment were positively correlated with a better internal health locus of control. A negative correlation between the chance health locus of control and results in the treatment was found. Differences in the health locus of control proved to be dependent on gender, age and different clinical groups.conclusions Health locus of control in patients with chronic diseases seems to be a crucial factor in determining the results of the treatment process in such patients. key words adolescent; health locus of control; hypertension; cooperation in the treatment process; type 1 diabetes

“…Mientras que una personalidad más amable y extrovertida aumenta la esperanza, la conciencia y el neuroticismo tienen un efecto directo sobre la indefensión (Bayrami et al, 2012). Por el contrario, según las investigaciones, la autoestima, el locus de control interno y la extraversión son predictores importantes de la indefensión (Mutlu, Balbag, & Cemrek, 2010). Estos eventos adversos de la vida pueden incrementar el nivel de estrés que experimentan algunos jóvenes, al considerarlos como situaciones abrumadoras, violentas y difíciles de sobrellevar, generando en ellos sentimientos de depresión e indefensión (Arenas-Landgrave, Lucio-Gómez, & Forns, 2012).…”

Objetivo. Analizar la estructura interna de la propuesta de una Escala de Indefensión para Jóvenes (EIJ) en una muestra de la ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila, México. Método. Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa de diseño instrumental. Se eligió una muestra incidental de 750 casos, 50.3% hombres y 49.7% mujeres. La edad promedio fue de 21.85. Se utilizó la EIJ, que constó de 47 ítems que miden: afectividad, motivación, cognición y conducta. La confiabilidad fue de .898. Resultados. Se realizó el Análisis Factorial Exploratorio y Confirmatorio. Los índices de ajuste cumplieron con el criterio de buen ajuste. Esta herramienta aporta una forma de medir las variables predictoras de la conducta suicida, las cuales constituyen un problema de salud pública y que, en parte, son predichas por los indicadores de indefensión.
