A high school population (N = 541) was administered the Rotter Locus of Control Scale in April and again the following November. At the second testing the MacDonald-Tseng and Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scales were given to examine their concurrent validity. Test-retest reliability of the Rotter Scale was determined. Concurrent validity between the Rotter and MacDonald-Tseng scale (as the criterion measure) was established.
