Describes the Health Locus of Control (HLC) Scale, an area-specific measure of expectancies regarding locus of control developed for prediction of health-related behavior. Two validation studies, one with 44 male and 44 female college students and the other with 34 overweight women, demonstrated the discriminant validity of the HLC in contrast with Rotter's Internal-External Control Scale. In Study 1, HLC internals who value health highly sought more information than other Ss. In Study 2, Ss in weight reduction programs consistent with their locus of control beliefs (as assessed by the HLC scale) were more satisfied with the programs than were" mismatched" Ss. Normative data on the HLC are provided.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
