A note on the relationship of internality-externality, self-acceptance, and self-ideal discrepancies.
To correct deficiencies in an earlier study testing the hypotheses that externals, compared to internals, exhibit a larger self-ideal discrepancy, lower self-concept, and lower self-acceptance, 55 male and female art and theatre undergraduate majors were administered the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Scale and the Index of Adjustment and Value. Findings by analysis of variance indicated support for all hypotheses.
