  • Title: Locus of control, learned helplessness, and control of heart rate using biofeedback.
    Author: Logsdon SA, Bourgeois AE, Levenson H.
    Journal: J Pers Assess; 1978 Oct; 42(5):538-44. PubMed ID: 702269.
    Abstract:
    Subjects were 24 male undergraduate students. False biofeedback was provided to give the impression of success or failure (helplessness) on a preliminary task. Authentic biofeedback was then provided for control of heart rate. Subjects were administered pre- and post-locus of control scales using Levenson's multidimensional scales. A significant relationship between locus of control and success or failure conditions added validity to Levenson's approach. Results and future research are discussed.
