Effects of health locus of control and social network on adolescent risk taking.
The purpose of this study was to determine if health locus of control and social network are predictors of adolescent risk-taking. Findings demonstrated that 12% of the variance in risk-taking could be explained by 2 of the 3 dimensions of health locus of control (internal and powerful other health locus of control subscales), and social network.
