- Abstract
The article contrasted the life style habits of college students who were high and low on different dimensions of locus of control. The Levenson Locus of Control Scale was used to assess three locus of control dimensions (Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance); the Tennessee Self-Description Form (TSDF) assessed four areas of life-style (Work, Social, Health, and Leisure). High and low groups were formed for each locus of control dimension by taking the top 20 lo and bottom 20% of the distribution (total N = 162). For all three locus of control variables, a significant interaction was obtained between the high-low group variable and the four areas of life style.
