Locus of control is a variable of high interest in the assessment and behavior of the elderly in long-term care (LTC) facilities. This study uses a situation-specific locus of control (LOC) index and controls for the influential variables in an LTC setting: age, education, sex, depression, and cognitive decline. Having an in ternal LOC proved to influence various adjustment measures, including behavior rating, perception of environment, and psychiatric factors. The value and use of such a specialized LOC measure in LTC settings are stressed and discussed. © 1982, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
