“…The results indicated a marked shift toward an external orientation. Similarly, McArthur (1970) found a shift in locus-of-control scores among students after the results of the draft lottery vere made public. These investigations support the notion that locus of control, or some component of that construct, is not a stable personality trait but a part of self-feeling that may vary with changing circumstances and experiences.…”

“…Studies have shown that when valued outcomes are received independently of behavioral performance (Gorman, 1968;McArthur, 1970), people shift toward external LOC. Conversely, when responses are clearly instrumental in determining reinforcement, LOC shifts toward an internal orientation (Lefcourt, 1967).…”

“…Studies in which valued outcomes were not contingent upon behaviors (Gorman, 1968;McArthur, 1970) and crisis situations (Smith, 1970) have been associated with a shift toward externality. Therefore, prison inmates are expected to have an increased external orientation.…”

Most studies investigating internal-external locus of control (LOC) in prison samples have found inmates to be externally oriented. On the whole, these studies have excluded women prison inmates. The present study investigated LOC in a sample of volunteers (n = 174) from randomly selected inmates at a state prison for women. Results on a multidimensional measure of LOC showed that: (a) education and income were significantly and positively related to the internal orientation and negatively related to the external orientation of LOC; (b) compared to minority women inmates, white women inmates were less likely to attribute events to chance; and (c) no significant relationship was found between LOC and length of imprisonment. Findings suggest that differences in LOC between men and women prison inmates are related to sex-specific adaptation to prison and differences in prison environs rather than to length of imprisonment.

“…Jak wspomniano, na zewn¹trzsterownooeae wp³ywaj¹ miêdzy innymi postawy rodzicielskie oraz miejsce dziecka w rodzinie. Do rozwoju tego rodzaju kontroli przyczynia siê tak¿e brak akceptacji ze strony opiekuna (McArtur, 1970), a tak¿e ograniczanie samodzielnooeci i niezale¿nooeci dziecka (Wichern, Nowicki, 1976;Nowicki, 1979). Czynniki te wydaj¹ siê istotne w odniesieniu do osób niepe³nosprawnych fizycznie, którym mo¿e towarzyszyae poczucie odrzucenia, zaoe ze wzglêdu na swój bywaj¹ nadmiernie chronione przez rodziców, w zwi¹zku z czym ujawniaj¹ czêoeciej zewnêtrzne poczucie kontroli.…”

Radzenie sobie ze stresem m³odzie¿y niepe³nosprawnej fizycznie 1 w oewietle problematyki umiejscowienia kontroli W okresie adolescencji niepe³nosprawnooeae fizyczna w szczególny sposób wp³ywa na funkcjonowanie m³odego cz³owieka. Ponadto dooewiadczenie to pozostaje w zwi¹zku z poczuciem umiejscowienia kontroli oraz sposobem radzenia sobie z przeciwnooeciami przez nastolatka. Badaniami objêto próbê 60 osób w okresie wczesnej adolescencji, w tym 30 z niepe³nosprawnooeci¹ ruchow¹ i 30 sprawnych fizycznie. Kluczowe zmienne: "radzenie sobie ze stresem" oraz "poczucie umiejscowienia kontroli" zdiagnozowano odpowiednio za pomoc¹ kwestionariusza Jak sobie radzisz autorstwa Z. Juczyñskiego i N. Ogiñskiej-Bulik oraz Kwestionariusza do badania poczucia kontroli autorstwa G. Krasowicz-Kupis i A. Wojnarskiej. U podstaw badañ w³asnych le¿a³o przewidywanie, ¿e niepe³na sprawnooeae fizyczna nastolatków wraz z poczuciem umiejscowienia kontroli bêd¹ wspólnie determinowa³y sposób ich radzenia sobie w stresie. G³ówne za³o¿enie nie potwierdzi³o siê, jednak udowodniono m.in., ¿e: (1) lokalizacja poczucia kontroli osób sprawnych jest bardziej zbli¿ona do wewnêtrznej, ni¿ w przypadku osób niepe³nosprawnych; (2) badani niepe³nosprawni przejawiaj¹ nieustalone/zewnêtrzne i zewnêtrzne poczucie umiejscowienia kontroli istotnie czêoeciej, ni¿ sprawni. S³owa kluczowe: niepe³nosprawnooeae fizyczna, radzenie sobie ze stresem, poczucie umiejscowienia kontroli, adolescencja, stereotypy Coping with stress of physically disabled youth in the light of the issue of location of control In the period of adolescence, physical disability has a special impact on the functioning of a young person. In addition, this experience remains in connection with the sense of location of control and the way adolescents deal with adversities. The study included a sample of 60 people in the period of early adolescence, including 30 with physical disabilities and 30 physically fit. Key variables: "coping with stress" and "sense of location of control" were diagnosed using the questionnaire Jak sobie radzisz by Z. Juczyñski and N. Ogiñska-Bulik and Kwestionariusz do badania poczucia kontroli by G. Krasowicz-Kupis and A. Wojnarska. At the basis of her own research was the antici-1 W tekoecie wykorzystano badania przeprowadzone na potrzeby pracy magisterskiej przez Pani¹ Joannê Staniszewsk¹, studentkê psychologii UKW w Bydgoszczy, promotor: Beata Zió³kowska, recenzent-Alicja Szmaus-Jackowska. pation that incomplete physical fitness of adolescents, along with the sense of the location of control, would jointly determine how they dealt with stress. The main assumption has not been confirmed, but it has been proven, among others, that: (1) the location of the sense of control of the able-bodied is more similar to the internal one than in the case of disabled people; (2) disabled respondents display an undefined/ external and external sense of location of control significantly more often than efficient.
