The Moderating Role of Locus of Control in the Relationship between Dimension of Family Communication Patterns and Criticawl Thinking Disposition of High School Students

Abstract

To have a good and successful life, have had life skills. One of these skills, critical thinking is its tendency, to help people through information and events that have disrupted the search for truth. While critical thinkingjudgment is wise or thoughtful Decision (Fasioneh, 2011). Tendency to critical thinking habit is that person's intrinsic motivation and desire to use their critical thinking skills to motivate Without it, the person tends not to use their critical thinking skills (Fasioneh, 2011). Experts emphasized the importance of critical thinking, has led them to identify the components of this tendency to pay. For example Ricketts (2003) Three trends to list the critical thinker. Ricketts (2003) acknowledges that critical thinking involves creativity, cognitive maturity and mental involvement. The purpose of the initiative intelligent and creative person's tendency to be curious to discover new realities. Cognitive maturity means that the person knows to what extent the complexity of real problems And according to their knowledge and understanding that others, to what extent is able to accept the views of others. Involvement, willingness to argue and argue and confidence in their ability to predict the required position in the field of argument. Many factors are involved in the formation of the components of critical thinking. It seems that one of them is family. In this study, family communication patterns occur as an environmental factor affecting critical thinking is studied. In the early grades children's mental growth of children in the family is based. Because, warmth and affection in the family environment, strengthening self-esteem and develop a positive and constructive force children is very important It can make them healthy, creative and self-confident and develop logical. Attitude and communication that family members have with each other is different. So, the effect can vary in other behavior. Researchers have tried to identify patterns of family relations (Fitz Patrick, Ritchie, 1994; MacLeod & Chefy, 1972; quoted in Koemer & Fitzpatrick) One feature of the dimensions of personality, critical thinking and communication patterns linked to family, belief in people's ability to control the outcome of their lives or the source control. Rutter (1954) on the concept of internal and external locus of control refers to the following hypothetical. Their successes and failures-a group that generally the person (effort or personal ability) are compared, Individuals with internal locus of control are called the second group the successes and failures of their own usually outside factors (luck or difficult situations) are compared, They called external locus of control (Seif, 2007). Source control is an important variable in explaining and describing the behavior of the function. This variable can be a catalyst for progress or a deterrent to progress and acquire new skills to work. This study seeks to answer the question whether the source control moderating role in the relationship between family communication patterns and critical thinking plays?History researchIn the relationship between locus of control and maturity can be cited a handful of evidence. For example, News (1989), based on the results of his research, which declared independence in decision making significant relationship between locus of control and there. Ashby (2002) showed that people who have internal locus of control, Also have more control over your life and see to their lives, they feel more responsibility. In addition to these findings, Bahadir and colleagues (2014). Found that locus of control and significant negative correlation with intellectual trends systematic and critical thinking That is conceptually close to the components of cognitive maturity. Semerci (2011), the study examines the relationship focused on achievement motivation, critical thinking tendency to pay. The results of this study, he showed that a significant positive relationship between motivation and component focused on the development of critical thinking in there confident. …
