Academic locus of control, type A behavior, and college absenteeism.
Responses from 40 women and 56 men to the Academic Locus of Control Scale and the Framingham Type A Scale were unrelated to each other but correlated .49 and .55 and -.32 and -.37, respectively, with absences from class. Elimination of illness-related absences raised the correlations.
