This study investigated the relationship between locus of control and identity status in a sample of high school students, and provided a test of procedural rules of the Obejctive Measure of Ego Identity Status for classifying "low profile" subjects. Subjects were 223 9th-12th graders attending high school in a rural area of a southwestern state. Locus of control scores, measured by the Children's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale were used as response variables against identity status in a one-way analysis of variance. Results confirmed that identity achievement individuals were significantly less external in locus of control than individuals in all other identity statuses. Individuals in the moratorium Rule 2 status were significantly less external in locus of control than individuals in the moratorium Rule 1 status. Discussion focused on implications for these results as they relate to identity development in the high school years
