Abstract

The validity of the alternate forms of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale and the underlying dimensionality of the three test scales were investigated using 70 male and 77 female British university students. A classical item analysis, principal component and image component factor analysis were undertaken. The results indicated that the alternate forms could be considered parallel. However, a sex difference appeared in the factor structure of the test such that the male sample yielded only two factors while the female sample yielded the three scale factors as expected.
