  • Title: Locus of control of children with learning disabilities and perceived locus of control by significant others.
    Author: Lewis SK, Lawrence-Patterson E.
    Journal: J Learn Disabil; 1989 Apr; 22(4):255-7. PubMed ID: 2738461.
    Abstract:
    The perceptions of parents and teachers of 24 children with learning disabilities regarding their children's or students' locus of control (LC) orientation were compared to the LC orientation held by the children themselves. While no significant differences were found between parents and children, teachers were found to perceive in their students with learning disabilities significantly more internally oriented success experiences than the students perceived in themselves. Significant differences in LC orientation were also found between the children with learning disabilities and a comparable group of nondisabled subjects. Implications for both preservice and inservice teacher education are presented.
