Summary
The relationship between locus of control and assertiveness was investigated in college undergraduates. Fifty-five students were administered both the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Control Scale and the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule. There was a significant correlation between internality and assertiveness for males but not for females. This discrepancy between the results from males and females is discussed with reference to a proposed belief/behavior dichotomy.
