知觉控制在许多行为的动机和认知解释中起着核心作用。本文介绍了一种新的38项自我报告工具--儿童控制知觉的多维测量。控制感被定义为儿童对成功和失败结果的充分原因所在地的理解。三个维度的3日至9年级儿童的控制的看法独立评估：内部，强大的他人，和未知的。这些控制源中的每一个都在3个行为领域内进行评估：认知，社会和身体。一般项目也包括在内。对成功结果和失败结果的控制的感知分别进行评估。新的测量的分量表的心理测量特性。报告了新措施与感知和实际能力措施的相关性，以及新措施对发展、性别和环境影响的敏感性。有人认为，新的措施是一个先进的内部与外部控制点的儿童现有的措施，因为它提供了特定领域的评估3个独立的维度的控制点，包括以前未开发的维度未知的控制。
Perceived control plays a central role in many motivational and cognitive accounts of behavior. A new 38-item self-report instrument, the Multidimensional Measure of Children''s Perceptions of Control, is described. Perceptions of control are defined as children''s understanding of the locus of the sufficient cause for success and failure outcomes. Three dimensions of 3rd- through 9th-grade children''s perceptions of control are independently assessed: internal, powerful others, and unknown. Each of these sources of control is assessed within 3 behavioral domains: cognitive, social and physical. General items are also included. Perceptions of control over success outcomes and failure outcomes are assessed separately. The psychometric properties of the new measure''s subscales are presented. Correlations of the new measure with measures of perceived and actual competence and findings demonstrating the sensitivity of the new measure to developmental, gender and environmental influences are reported. It is argued that the new measure is an advance over existing measures of internal vs. external locus of control in children because it provides domain-specific assessments of 3 separate dimensions of locus of control, including the previously untapped dimension of unknown control.
