title: Test-retest reliability and interrelation among three locus of control measures for children.
abstract: Test-retest reliability was obtained for the Bialer Scale for Children, the Stranford Preschool I-E Scale and a TAT Locus of Control measure. Correlations between measures ranged from .06 to .26. Based on a lack of correlation between measures, high test-retest reliability for the Bialer, a grade effect on Bialer, and the results of previous studies, the Bialer was viewed as an adequate measure of locus of control for children.
