Psychometric study of forms A and B of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale.

Forms A and B of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales were included in a battery of preworkshop measures at a program on back care for staff at a psychiatric hospital (N = 82). Lack of extensive reports regarding alternate-form reliability of the health forms led to this study. Factor analytic results, item-by-item correlations, alpha coefficients, and Pearson correlations between forms are reported. Through these procedures the authors found discrepancies between Forms A and B, particularly for Scale P.
