Locus of Control of Israeli Women During the Transition to Marriage

Abstract

Sixty Israeli women were administered Rotter's (1966) Locus of Control Scale and Zung's (1965) Self-Rating Depression Scale 1 to 2 months prior to their marriages. Six to 8 weeks after they were married, they responded to Spanier's (1976) Dyadic Adjustment Scale and again to the Zung scale. There was a low but significant correlation between externality and depression following marriage. Mean depression scores for the total sample, and for women with internal, medium, and external locus of control (LOC) were significantly lower after marriage. Women with external LOC manifested significantly more change in depression scores before and after marriage and also rated themselves significantly less satisfied with their marriages. Depression prior to marriage was predictive of later marital dissatisfaction, and depression following marriage was highly correlated with concurrent dissatisfaction.

“…As of today, locus of control is one of the most studied concepts in psychology altogether (Schulz & Schulz, 2009). Dimitrovsky & Beck (1994) describes locus of control as a comprehensive anticipation of one's outcomes that are determined more by ones' own behavior and personality (internal Locus of control) or more by exterior forces, such as chance, luck, or powerful others (external Locus of control ).An individual with external locus of control attributes alters to outer sources such as opportunity, fate, social constraints, and powerful others, or institutions that are further than personal control Such individuals identify that corroboration follows some actions their own but is not entirely dependent upon their actions.

Efekti Bračnog Lokusa Kontrole Na Percepciju Kvaliteta Bračnog Odnosa Kod Žena

“…Rezultati nekih istraživanja ukazuju na mogućnost da se negativni efekti bračnih konflikata održe čak i do godinu dana, te da pod dejstvom bračnih konflikata roditelji i prema deci ispoljavaju hostilnost (Harold, Fincham, Osborne, & Conger, 1997). Pored navedenog, utvrđeno je da spoljašnji lokus kontrole, odnosno nizak doživljaj lične efikasnosti u rešavanju konflikata, kod žena, ostvaruje značajnu povezanost sa njihovim kasnijim razvojem depresije (Dimitrovsky & Schapira-Beck, 1994). …”
