Factor Analytic Study of the Children's Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale'
A factor analysis of the Children's Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale was conducted with a biracial sample of children over a wide age range.

White scored higher than did blacks on Type A behavior, and Type A behav…
