Abstract
In a sample of 60 psychiatric patients recently discharged from inpatient or day hospital psychiatric facilities, we evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scales. The scales demonstrated alpha reliabilities and intercorrelations similar to those reported by Wallston, Wallston, and DeVellis (1978). Factor analysis and a confirmatory LISREL analysis provided more qualified support for the hypothesized three-factor structure of the scales. The findings suggest, however, that the MHLC appears suitable for use among psychiatric patients, particularly in the combined forms (A and B) version.
