This study examined the dimensionality and validity of Levenson's (1973a) multidimensional locus of control scale in two independent samples of Navy enlisted men. It was hypothesized that internal subjects would report better health, greater general satisfaction, and higher levels of family strain due to separation. Given the nature of the military environment, it was expected that external scores would be more pronounced for powerful other rather than chance-oriented expectancies. The results generally agreed with hypothesized relationships and are discussed in terms of the utility of a multidimensional locus of control construct in measuring generalized expectancies
