Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between depression, anxiety, and locus of control in mild, moderate, and severe asthmatic women. The analysis focused on the relationship between the severity of illness as a major factor in emotional responding. In order to investigate these relationships, the Beck Depression Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale were administered to 150 asthmatic women between the ages of 18 to 55 who were being seen for a general medical appointment. The results of the investigation revealed a significant association between asthma severity and psychological functioning. The findings supported the general hypothesis of the study that a significant difference would exist between mild, moderate, and severe asthmatic women in their levels of depression, anxiety, and locus of control.
