Abstract
The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship between locus of control and self-control and the effects of these “control” variables on achievement of social status by children. Teachers rated 50 third-grade and 54 fifth-grade children on the Kendall-Wilcox Self-control Rating Scale and the children completed the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children. Social acceptance and rejection scores were derived from socio-metric nominations. Internality and self-control were positively correlated for children in Grades 3 and 5. Self-control was negatively correlated to social rejection at both grades. Internality and self-control combined to predict social acceptance at Grade 5.
