尽管控制点 (LOC) 一直是数千项研究的焦点，但我们对其如何或是否随时间变化以及与变化相关的内容知之甚少。我们缺乏知识的部分原因是过去使用横断面而非纵向方法来研究来自非代表性人群的少量参与者。本研究的目的是利用具有较大代表性人群的纵向设计来提供有关成人LOC稳定性和变化的相关信息。在孩子出生之前以及六年后，参加雅芳父母和儿童纵向研究 (ALSPAC) 的母亲及其伴侣完成了 LOC 测试和结构化压力事件调查。分析显示，与配偶、朋友和家人的关系、财务稳定性和工作保障以及疾病/吸烟所经历的压力与 LOC 的变化有关。结果表明，配偶/父母二人组中的 LOC 存在显着差异，并且男性和女性的 LOC 随着时间的推移具有中等稳定性。在考虑采取干预措施来改变 LOC 预期时，与 LOC 变化相关的压力源可能是候选者。人们对与 LOC 随时间变化相关的因素知之甚少。这是一个独特的数据集，测量 6 年期间男性和女性的 LOC。结果表明，关系压力源与 LOC 方向的变化相关。在考虑采取干预措施来改变 LOC 时，压力源可能是候选者。发现配偶二人体内的 LOC 存在显着差异。
Although locus of control (LOC) has been the focus of thousands of studies we know little about how or if it changes over time and what is associated with change. Our lack of knowledge stems in part from the past use of cross-sectional and not longitudinal methodologies to study small numbers of participants from non-representative populations. The purpose of the present study was to use a longitudinal design with a large representative population to provide relevant information concerning the stability and change of adult LOC. Before the birth of their child, and again six years later, mothers and their partners participating in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) completed LOC tests and structured stressful events surveys. Analyses revealed that stresses experienced in relationships with spouses, friends and family, financial stability and job security, and illness/smoking were associated with changes in LOC. Results suggest substantial variation of LOC within spousal/parent dyads and moderate stability of LOC over time for both men and women. Stressors associated with change in LOC may be possible candidates when considering interventions to modify LOC expectancies. Little is known as to factors associated with changes in LOC over time. This is a unique data set measuring LOC in men and women over a 6 year period. Results show relationship stressors were associated with change in LOC orientation. Stressors could be candidates when considering interventions to modify LOC. Substantial variation of LOC within spousal dyads was found.
