Abstract
Male Indian and Canadian University students and workers were administered Rotters' I‐E scale. The Indians were more internal than the Canadians on the full scale but when subdvided according to Personal Control, Control Ideology and Systems Control components, it was found that the Canadian students were more internal than the Indians students in terms of Personal Control and both Canadian students and Canadian workers were more external than their Indian counterparts in terms of Control Ideology and Systems Control. Background factors and implications for future research are noted.Keywords
