Abstract
Parental correlates of locus of control orientation was studied among 55 mostly lower to lower middle class children. Locus of control was assessed by the Modified Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Questionnaire (MIARQ). Results showed a generally moderate relation between several home environment factors and LOC. The HOME variables, pride, affection and warmth and encouraging social maturity showed the strongest relation to control orientation with generally higher correlations for MIARQ + scores. Some sex differences were observed.Keywords
