Background:Objectives:Our aim was to study the effect of biofeedback (BFB) training on the locus of control in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to justify the use of this method in the complex treatment of the disease.Methods:40 RA patients hospitalized in the rheumatology department were examined. The average age of patients was 48. 6 years ± 7.73 years (from 30 to 70 years), women accounted for the majority = 26 (86%), the average duration of the disease was 12 years ± 3.44 years. We use J. Rotter’s Locus of Control Scale in E.F.Bazhin adaptation. RA patients were divided into two groups: the main (20 patients) and control (20 patients). Patients of the main group received complex therapy with 12 sessions of BFB training, mainly based on the parameters of the brain’s electrical activity — EEG relaxation using the Reakor™ psychophysiological rehabilitation complex manufactured by Medicom MTD (Taganrog).Results:We revealed externality in RA patients in the general field (3.03 ± 0.3), as well as in the field of relation to the disease (3.86 ± 0.23) and in the field of production relations (3.43 ± 0, 25). After BFB trainings, an increase in internality was observed on the scales of the general sphere (p <0.05) and attitude to the disease (p <0.01) in patients of the main group. In the group of patients receiving conventional treatment, the dynamics of the results was unreliable.Conclusion:It should be noted that the locus of control (or subjective control) is a quality that characterizes a person’s tendency to attribute responsibility for the results of his activity to external forces, or to his own abilities and efforts. Externality is manifested when people prefer to shift responsibility for important events of their life to external circumstances, and external forces (bosses, colleagues, etc.). In the field of attitude to the disease, externality is manifested when patient behaves passively, and believes that he cannot influence the course of the disease in any way, shifting all responsibility for the treatment results to medical staff, which can lead to non-compliance with the treatment regimen and an increase in the level of anxiety and depression, decreased self-esteem. The onset of the disease and its associated social consequences (disability, loss of social roles, etc.) can cause a negative mental state of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is defined as a condition that occurs as a result of uncontrolled, mainly negative events, which manifests itself in violations of emotional, motivational and cognitive processes. In other words, RA patient suffering from this condition expects treatment failures and reduces control over compliance with the treatment regimen. BFB therapy can be used in order to correct and prevent the state of learned helplessness by increasing the level of internality.It is assumed that increasing internality in the BFB process is associated with teaching the patient the skills of self-regulation of physiological processes. The mechanisms of BFB therapeutic effect are not only changes in physiological parameters (improvement of cerebral and peripheral blood flow, muscle relaxation, and improvement of sleep) but also in a shift in the locus of control from external to internal, which can increase compliance, reduce neurotic complaints, mobilize volitional potential and improve patient self-esteem.As a result of BFB course, an increase in the internality was noted in patients on the scales of the general sphere and the sphere of attitude to the disease. It is advisable to use the BFB to increase the compliance and effectiveness of complex treatment of RA patients.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

From a large class who had been pretested on the I-E Locus of Control Scale and a self-esteem measure, 30 overweight and 20 normal-weight students were selected and measured to determine their percentage of overweight. They were then asked to complete questionnaires measuring knowledge of health-related information and of specific obesity-related information. Results confirmed (a) a negative correlation between self-esteem and percentage overweight and (b) less knowledge of broad, health-related information among obese students. No relation was found between percentage of overweight and I-E scale scores.

The Relationship

Fifty undergraduate students took part in an investigation of the relationship among locus of control, mental ability, self-esteem, and alienation. The results suggested that alienation is related to external locus of control and low self-esteem. No significant association was found for mental ability and alienation. The relationships among locus of control, mental ability, self-esteem, and the alienation subcomponents of powerlessness, normlessness, and social isolation were explored.

The Impact

The impact of grouping, learning handicap, locus of control, and self esteem on students' performance on a math problem-solving program was assessed in two studies. Outcome measures included: 1) the level of difficulty at which students selected to work, 2) use of a program help command, and 3) response accuracy with and without help. Despite indication from the non-computer instructional literature that grouping would facilitate problem-solving skills for some students, neither problem selections nor performance accuracy varied as a function of group configuration. Personal characteristics influenced problem selections, help seeking, and accuracy in anticipated directions but not consistently. More consistent patterns were noted as a function of initial student competency in math.

We reported a questionnaire dataset accumulated from the revision of a Chinese version of Free Will and Determinism Scale Plus (FAD+). In this dataset, we collected data from 1232 participants. The questionnaires used in data collection included the FAD+ and 13 other widely-used questionnaires or tests (for example, the Big Five In-ventory, the Multidimensional Locus of Control, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the General and Personal Belief in a Just World Scale, the Chinese Disgust Sensitivity Scale, the Moral Identity Questionnaire, the Moral Self-Image Scale). The sample size for these questionnaires are different, ranging from 33 to 1100. Our preliminary analysis revealed that scores of these scales are reliable (Cronbach's alpha: .52 ~ .85, McDonald’s omega: .63 ~ .90). These data can be used for both research and educa-tional purposes, e.g., examining cultural differences and measurement invariance on belief in free will, locus of control, belief in just world.

Individual Variables

Goal-setting is an essential tool to improve individual and organizational performance. The study about goal-setting has been done immensely in the past century. However, research on goal-setting is rarely conducted in Indonesia's Public sector, especially in Customs and Excise work environment. A survey of Indonesian Customs is carried out to examine the correlation between individual variables that are self-esteem, work locus of control, self-efficacy, supervisor's support, anticipated reward, and other organizational support with employee goal level selection. 45 merchandise goods-related document analysts and goods inspectors are included in the survey, where a small experiment is administered by asking the respondent to set their target independently. Using the Spearman correlation analysis, the result indicated that only work locus of control has a significant negative association with goal-level selection, particularly promotion and job acquisition subscales. Self-esteem and self-efficacy are found not significantly correlated with goal-level selection, and so are support from supervisors, office environment, and monetary reward.
