Scores on Indicators of Leadership Skills, Locus of Control, and Self-Actualization for Student Leaders in Grades 6 to 10

Abstract

Measures of leadership skills, self-actualization, and locus of control for 105 student leaders in Grades 6 through 10 (36 boys and 69 girls) were examined using the Leadership Skills Inventory, Reflections of Self by Youth, and the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children. Several significant grade differences but no significant gender differences were found on the measures. Correlations (.23 to .91) between scores were significantly different from zero.
