This study investigated the relationship between belief in personal control and Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning. Responses of 57 male and 56 female pupils of two residential secondary schools in Kano City indicated that subjects at Stage 3 of moral reasoning tended to exhibit significantly more internality than those at Stages 1, 2, and 4. Significant sex differences were found neither in belief in personal control nor in moral reasoning
