Locus of control as a mediator of negative divorce-related events and adjustment problems in children

B S Fogas et al. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

Beliefs about whether locus of control mediates the relationship between negative divorce-related events and children's adjustment were explored in a group of 78 children and their primary residential parents. In the children's self-reports of adjustment, locus of control was found to be a partial mediator in the relationship. Analyses of the parents' reports of the children's adjustment did not support a mediational model.
