“…However, when our results are viewed in their totality, there is clear tients with a greater sense of personal control. 53 Rather, the data from our study are suggestive of the evidence of nonpathologic but subclinical ''enduring psychological consequences '' 15 (p.713) of being conclusion drawn by Reid,54 that for cancer survivors, living with a chronic disease or the threat of recurrence treated for childhood cancer. 20,46 ''fosters the development of externality in one's attitudes.…”

“…While it is often suggested that LOC beliefs are associated with psychological adjustment to chronic and/or life-threatening disease (Anderson et al, 1985;Reid, 1984;Rothbaum et al, 1982;Strickland, 1978), delineation of the nature of this relationship has proved elusive. Most research addressing the relationship between LOC beliefs and adjustment to chronic or life-threatening disease has asked whether an internal or external LOC is preferable.…”

“…The failure to establish a clear relationship between LOC beliefs and psychological adjustment is due in part to the complexity of this relationship. It has been suggested that the relationship between LOC and psychological adjustment is moderated by contextual variables (Folkman, 1984;Phares, 1976;Reid, 1984;Strickland, 1978;Wallston and Wallston, 1978), thus necessitating a search for interaction, rather than main, effects.…”

Delineation of the relationship between health locus of control (HLOC) and psychological adjustment in chronic disease has been hampered by the failure to consider the moderating effect of contextual factors. The extent to which HLOC beliefs match the control realities in a situation (Reality Matching hypothesis) as well as the degree of threat (Threat hypothesis) posed by the situation were hypothesized to moderate the HLOC-distress relationship. Distress, disease severity (i.e., threat), and HLOC were assessed in 69 individuals with malignant disease undergoing evaluation for bone marrow transplantation. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the HLOC-distress relationship was moderated by disease severity and treatment history (i.e., whether an individual had failed prior cancer therapy). However, in some instances, the specific interaction relationships obtained differed from those evident in previous research with ESRD patients. It was concluded that there is no simple main effect relationship between HLOC beliefs and psychological adjustment. Rather, this relationship is best described by joint consideration of factors descriptive of the context in which the individual is embedded.

“…The research reported on psychological adjustment among the elderly (e.g. Kahana, Kahana & Riley, 1988;Reid, 1981) has consistently shown that when adjustment is assessed within a framework of person-environment congruence or interaction the elderly show a stronger sense of control relative to younger reference groups in the environment.…”

“…The question remains how an older person can be helped to retain a sense of control over what available environmental supplies and resources he or she will utilize and others that are perceived to be an infringement on one's independence or privacy. The answer may lie in a process that Reid (1981) has called participatory control. There are two components of participatory control that need to be worked out on an individual and a situation-specific basis between the counselor and the individual to achieve a reasonable degree of personenvironment congruence.…”

The paper presents a review of prevalent conceptions concerning the development of control and helplessness in older adults and the impact of these conceptions on the adjustment and well-being of older adults. Alternative formulations focusing on the significance of the personenvironment transactional model are presented, and a conceptual framework based on congruence between the person and environment are utilized for examining perceptions of control among older adults. It is argued that individuals are more likely to experience control and positive adjustment when their abilities, resources and needs are consistent with environmental demands and supplies. Dimensions of congruence salient to the functioning of older adults are discussed with particular reference to their implications for counseling interventions and counseling approaches. Directions for future counseling approaches consistent with the person-environment congruence model are recommended.Adjustment and coping are issues of prime importance throughout the life span. However, these are issues of greater pressing concern for older adults because of the unique meanings accorded to developmental adjustments in adulthood and the multidimensional nature of adjustment and adaptations necessary between the aging individuals and their environments.It is the purpose of this paper to argue that transitions to old age or concepts of adjustment have ignored the environmental influences and environmental demands on the aging process. Disproportionate attention has been given to the cultural biases of aging in which negative images of aging as a time of nonproductivity, decreased social worth and declining controls are seen to contribute to the stress of aging and to corresponding levels of incompetence and maladjustment in old age. It is also the intent of this paper to argue that greater vulnerability in the aged, compared to younger adults, is the result of various stereotypes and myths about old age functioning that are pervasive in Western society.
