| Abstract: | Rotter's Internal—External Locus of Control scale was given to 186 male school-leavers and 101 male skilled and semi-skilled workers facing redundancy. After approximately 6 months post-school and redundancy, individuals were retested and employment status sought. Analyses revealed that the unemployed, from both samples, were more inclined to perceive events as being beyond personal control (which is characteristic of those negative affect) apparently as a result of their predicament. |
