Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop a diabetes locus of control scale and to assess its validity and reliability. Factor analysis of the items was conducted utilizing varimax orthogonal rotation. Three factors were identified representing Internal (6 items), Chance (6 items) and Powerful Others (6 items) orientations. The subscales were internally consistent, Cronbach alphas were .75, .77 and .72 for the Internal, Chance, and Powerful Others scales. Test-retest reliabilities were for the subscales, Internal .77, Chance .72, and Powerful Others .66. Criterion-related validity with the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale was established. Reading level was at tenth grade. It is recommended that the more specific Diabetes Locus of Control scale be utilized in studies assessing locus of control for diabetics.
