对儿童健康控制点兴趣的增加促使了对测量这一概念的量表的心理测量特性的持续研究。儿童健康控制点量表（CHLC）在四年中对1000多名城市黑人学生进行了管理，这些学生分为三个年级：一年级-四年级-六年级到四年级-七年级-九年级。因子分析显示，每年有5个因子形成信度可接受的量表。随着年龄的增长，学生们越来越相信他们可以控制自己的健康。自我控制的信念与外部控制的测量有低的负相关。CHLC的稳定性和相对简单的程序（16项）表明，尽管一些项目的措辞存在问题，但CHLC是比较该年龄范围内横断面和纵向样本的适当和有效的测量方法。
Increased interest in children's health locus of control has precipitated continued examination of the psychometric properties of scales measuring this concept. The Children's Health Locus of Control scale (CHLC) was administered to more than 1,000 urban black students in each of four years across three grade levels: Year 1 ‐ grades four‐six to Year 4 ‐ grades seven‐nine. Factor analyses revealed five factors forming scales with acceptable reliability at each year. Students' beliefs that they have control over their own health increased as a function of age. Beliefs in self‐control had low, negative correlations with measures of external control. Stability of CHLC and the relatively simple procedure (16 dkhotomous items) suggest that, despite problems with wording of some items, CHLC is an appropriate and efficient measure for comparing cross‐sectional and longitudinal samples in this age range.
