Abstract
Measures of discrepancy between observed behavior and that predicted by the Rotter (1966) I-E Scale indicate the usefulness of moderator variables in distinguishing defensive externality. To explore the complex relationship between verbalized beliefs and behavior a 26-item Behavioroid Internal-External Scale was developed and administered to 200 college students. Analysis of the scores indicated a symmetrical distribution, moderate to high loadings on a principal factor, moderate item-remainder correlations, and high reliability estimates. The validity and usefulness of the Behavioroid I-E Scale as a moderator variable were discussed.
