The present study investigated the relationship between child abuse, as measured by the Child Abuse Potential Inventory, and locus of control, as measured by the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale. 78 subjects, 43 parents “at risk” and 35 parents not “at risk,” took part in the study. 37 parents “at risk” completed both the inventory and the Rotter scale, while all 35 parents not “at risk” completed both inventories. Analysis indicated the abuse scale and the Rotter scale were significantly related, while the inventory's lie scale and the Rotter scale were not. Individuals who earn high child-abuse scores tend to have greater expectancies that events in their lives occur as a consequence of unrelated and random external factors rather than as a consequence of their own attitudes and behaviors
