Abstract
To determine the incidence of freeloading by college students and to compare the locus of control of freeloaders versus nonfreeloaders, 25 female and 20 male volunteers from introductory psychology were administered Levenson's Locus of Control Scale and were fingerprinted. The subjects were then allowed to cleanse their hands. Unobtrusive measures of whether the subjects obtained paper towels by operation of a crank towel dispenser or freeloaded from a stack of folded towels placed above the dispenser were obtained. 25 nonfreeloaders and 15 freeloaders were identified and compared on Levenson's Internal, Powerful Others, and Chance Scales. Freeloaders were significantly lower on the Chance Locus of Control scale than were the nonfreeloaders.
