Abstract
Correlations between the Health Locus of Control scale and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Self-rating Depression Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were examined for 114 male, medical and surgical inpatients. Health Locus of Control scores were partitioned into health internal scorers and health external scorers. Significant differences were obtained on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory neurotic triad, with health external scorers exhibiting more serious personality profiles. Considerable variance of scores on health internality could be accounted for by similar variance in responses to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Self-rating Depression Scale. Implications for clinical treatment and differential health care intervention were discussed.
