Clinical Study on Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, USA

This study examines the differences in gender, occupation and medical condition with regards to Multidimensional Health Locus of Control and examines whether these vary depending on the five factor model of health locus of control and as a function of occupation and gender. Previous research has shown that differences based on gender are situation based. This present study examines multidimensional health locus of control and its relationship to men and women in white-collar and blue-collar jobs, with and without lower back pain. The five-factor model of multidimensional health locus of control has been the most pervasive model that has been used to explain personality traits and is used in the present study.
