Book Description
The effects of achievement motivation, locus of control orientation and preferred coping style were investigated for their relationship with subjects reported stress symptoms. Scales for each of these variables were administered to 100 Psychology students at the University of Hartford. The results of these self-reports were analyzed using zero-order correlations and multiple regression analysis. It was predicted that the overall multiple regression coefficient would be significant, as well as the joint effects of locus of control orientation, achievement motive, and preferred coping style on subjects reported stress symptoms. The results indicated a lack of relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. An external locus of control orientation was significantly related to higher stress scores and lower achievement orientation. Higher achievement orientation was positively related to the use of active coping styles. Male subjects were slightly but significantly more internally oriented in terms of locus of control than female subjects. The findings were intended to refute the usefullness of the Type A Personality construct in predicting stress-related illness. There is evidence that there are stress moderators that may buffer high achievers from the adverse effects of stress but the relationship is complex and tenuous.

Book Description
Teaching INTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL means teaching learners to become "Internals" to control their own lives more fully and successfully. When individuals become Internals they believe they have the will and the wherewithal to set achievable goals and accomplish them. In other words, they are empowered. INTERNALS are known to: (1) experience higher levels of well-being and engage in healthier behaviors; (2) be healthier and happier and live longer lives; and (3) exhibit superior cognitive functioning and display more motivation to complete tasks, perform well, and innovate. INTERNALS, who believe they control their lives, are also more successful in learning and academic achievement, at work, and in economic endeavors as a whole. They are typically more active, more effective in social and sociological situations, willingly take responsibility, and more likely to resist outside influences that can undermine personal moral behavior. That's why, for all these reasons and more, it pays to TEACH INTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL. Because the instruction techniques in this book have been validated in an extensive field evaluation, you can be sure that learning to teach the six-step behavioral strategy will be satisfying and rewarding. As you watch the lives of your learners undergo transformation and enhancement each and every time, you will be amazed at just how successful you and they will be when you. . . . . .
