| Abstract: | Studies in the area of locus of control have tended to neglect the familial antecedents of this variable, particularly among ethnic minorities. Research with minorities has also tended to overlook the role of teachers in the development of children's locus of control beliefs. The present investigation examined how the locus of control orientations of Mexican- and Anglo-American children are related to their descriptions of their mothers', fathers', and teachers' socialization practices. Results showed no significant ethnic differences in locus of control or perceptions of parents' and teachers socialization practices. There were, however, significant variations in the relation of parents' and teachers' socialization behaviors to children's locus of control scores as a function of both children's and adults' sex and ethnicity, as well as the nature (I+ or I-) of the locus of control dimension being considered. In addition, teachers' socialization behavior showed a more pervasive relation to children's locus of control scores than did parental behavior. Results are discussed in terms of the sexually and culturally relevant nature of the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
