Erste Ergebnisse

Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden erste Ergebnisse eines Pilotforschungsprojektes vorgestellt, dessen empirischer Fokus auf das in der bundesrepublikanischen Drogenforschungslandschaft weitgehend ausgesparte Feld eines sozial integrierten Umgangs mit illegalen Drogen in gesellschaftlich etablierten Sozialkontexten gerichtet ist. Besonderes Interesse gilt dem Vermittlungsgeschehen zwischen formeller und informeller sozialer Kontrolle: Wie geht der Einzelne mit konfligierenden Botschaften einer auf ein generelles Drogenverbot abgestellten Rechtssphäre und dem darauf abgestellten institutionellen Kontext strafrechtlicher und sozialmedizinischer Kontrolle einerseits und etwaigen gebrauchsmotivierenden Botschaften der Peer-Group, des Freundes- und Bekanntenkreises andererseits um? </P><P> Innerhalb der Pilotphase wurden 34 sozial integrierte Konsumenten diverser illegaler Drogen interviewt. Die Stichprobenbildung folgte der Methode des Snowball Samplings. Die bisherigen Beobachtungen lassen sich zu zwei für den weiteren Forschungsverlauf relevanten Arbeitshypothesen verdichten: <UL><LI>Der Drogenkonsum untersteht offenbar in der Selbstwahrnehmung im Sinne einer Selbstattribution einem ›internal locus of control‹. <LI>Auch wenn es trotz des bestehenden Drogenverbots zum Konsum illegaler Drogen kommt, scheint mit dem Verbotsstatus bestimmter Substanzen häufig ein informeller Kontrolleinfluss assoziiert, welcher Konsum regulierend unterhalb der Schwelle des generalpräventiven Anspruchs des BtMGs wirksam wird.</UL>

Abstract. Locus of control is one of the personality characteristics possessed by humans. Locus of control can be divided into two, namely internal locus of control and external locus of control. Locus of control is a predictor of several other variables, such as learning achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of locus of control with learning achievement. This research uses descriptive and correlational methods. The instrument filling is done online by using the google form application considering the increasing spread of COVID-19. Finally, as many as 36 students participated in filling this instrument. In this study, researchers used the Rotters Internal-External Locus of Control (IE Scale) inventory consisting of 29 items, of which there were 6 filler items, so that the total number of items that could be processed was 23 items, while to see learning achievement using the Grade Point Average (GPA) that researchers get from the Academic Information System (SIAKAD). Research findings show that locus of control has a strong negative relationship with student learning achievement. We advise students to have an internal locus of control while continuing to believe in God; The counselor is expected to be able to arrange an intervention program for students who have an external locus of control and have low learning achievement.

Ambiguity Intolerance

AbstractThe unemployed, as well as individuals in self and salaried employment, face several work-related risks and uncertainties which can result in diminished psychological wellbeing especially for individuals with high ambiguity intolerance. However, positive psychology literature suggests that individuals with strong psychological resources can be resilient in difficult circumstances. Using a sample of 922 individuals (including 240 unemployed, 391 salary-employed, and 291 self-employed) from Uganda and Kenya, we investigated the moderating effects of locus of control and psychological capital on the association between ambiguity intolerance and eudaimonic wellbeing, comparing the unemployed with individuals in salaried and self-employment. Our findings indicated that ambiguity intolerance and external locus of control are negatively associated with eudaimonic wellbeing. Conversely, internal locus of control and psychological capital were positively associated with eudaimonic wellbeing. The moderation analysis revealed that whereas an external locus of control boosts the negative effects of ambiguity intolerance on eudaimonic wellbeing, internal locus of control and psychological capital buffer against the negative effects of ambiguity intolerance on eudaimonic wellbeing. Differences between employment status groups and implications are discussed.

Rotter's I-E Scale was administered to a non-college population of males and females in 3 age groups: 5–15, 16–25, and 46–60. Internal locus of control expectations increased with age. A trend for males to be more internal in their beliefs was suggested.

The Relationship

Contradictory results have been published on the relationship of locus of control with job involvement, so in this study occupational needs were tested as moderators between the variables. Needs were measured with Ghiselli's Self-description Inventory, job involvement with Kanungo's Job Involvement scale, and locus of control with Pettersen's scale. Job involvement of 220 mainly female teachers was significantly predicted by extrinsic needs, and that of 213 female secretaries rather by intrinsic needs. Job involvement related to extrinsic needs was not associated with locus of control, while this relationship with intrinsic needs and job involvement was not needed for internal locus of control to correlate with job involvement. Especially the combination of strong intrinsic and extrinsic needs moderated the correlation, although locus of control could correlate with job involvement also for subjects with weak needs. The correlations were independent of internality of control or the amount of involvement. These results suggest that locus of control and job involvement are independent variables, and the former cannot be used as a predictor of the latter.
