Abstract
Abstract This study examined the relationship between children's locus of control and their perceptions of their fathers' and mothers' socialization practices in intact, rural families in Brazil, the Philippines, and the United States. Results showed that Brazilian children scored significantly higher in locus of control, followed by Filipino and American children, respectively. Significant differences were found in locus of control scores between younger and older children in the three samples. Moreover, American and Filipino children's perceptions of their parents' socialization practices were significantly correlated with their locus of control scores. Only one significant relationship was found between Brazilian children's locus of control scores and their parents' socialization practices. The cultural implications of these findings are discussed.
