Abstract | This study was designed to explore the behavioral correlates of locus of control in kibbutz children in Israel. A locus of control questionnaire was given to 183 children aged 9-14 from six kibbutzim. The subjects were assessed by their teachers on various aspects of comptenece, and participated in a structured decision making task. It was found that the more internal the locus of control of the subject (especially the more he took responsibility for failure results), the higher he was rated by his teacher in independence and confidence variables. Also, internal locus of control children were significantly more actively involved in the decision task; locus of control was unrelated to the children's own stimations of their success in academic situations.
