Internal-External locus of control and alcohol use were investigated among high school students, and it was found that external control was positively related to problem-oriented motivations and social complications. A developmental model for the relationship between I-E control and drinking is proposed.

The achievement locus of control was investigated in 66 academically gifted high school students. Subjects were administered Lefcourt's Multidimensional-Multiattributional Causality Scale. Data suggest a pattern of attributions in which effort was ranked higher than ability, context, or luck. Subjects were more internal than external. Stable attributions were not clearly different from unstable attributions. Confidence was correlated .45 with grade expected. Students with greater confidence tended to attribute academic success less to ability (—.34). Expectancy of success was correlated A6 with internality, a dimension of causality, and not with the two dimensions of stability. This supported the social learning theory of the relationship between change in expectancy and causality.

The relationship between pre-marital pregnancy and locus of control was assessed for 165 female, junior and senior high school students from two metropolitan high schools, one middle-class white, and one lower-class black. No significant difference between the two schools in mean locus of control scores was found. Significant differences indicated that within the white middle-class school, pregnant girls tended to score external and non-pregnant girls tended to score internal. In the black lower-class school, the opposite tended to be true, i.e., pregnant girls tended toward internality, and non-pregnant girls toward externality. These seeming differences were not inconsistent and internally oriented girls in both environments were perceiving their environments accurately.
