Cross-Generational Attributions Concerning Locus of Control Beliefs.

Rhee, Catherine; Gatz, Margaret

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v37 n2 p153-61 1993

Examined age differences and attributions of age differences in locus of control orientation for 60 college students and 97 older adults. Findings showed that both age groups misattributed levels of control orientation to the other group when compared to that group's self-ratings. Older adults endorsed more internal beliefs than did college students. (Author/NB)
