Internal/External Locus of Control,Self-Esteem,and Parental Verbal Interaction of At-Risk Black Male Adolescents
Abstract:Abstract

We investigated the relationship between three factors—internal/external locus of control, self-esteem, and parental verbal interaction—for at-risk Black male adolecents in the United States. Forty-two male students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 who had been identified by their teachers as being at risk completed the Locus of Control Scale for Children (Nowicki & Strickland, 1973), the Self-Esteem Inventory (Coopersmith, 1967), and the Verbal Interaction Questionnaire (Blake, 1991). A moderate positive relationship found between self-esteem and parental verbal interaction was consistent with a previous finding for White high school students. A moderate negative relationship found between locus of control and self-esteem differed from a previous finding of no significant relationship for Black elementary children. A weak, yet significant, negative relationship was found between locus of control and parental verbal interaction.
