148 Italian undergraduates (62 men and 86 women) responded to the Italian version of the Christie's Mach IV scale and to the Italian version of the Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Control scale. The positive correlation between Machiavellianism and external locus of control of .40 was significant for men as well as for women. The results confirm previous findings that more external individuals tend to agree with Machiavellian positions than do internal persons. The implications of the findings were discussed
