The Levenson Locus of Control Questionnaire was completed by 91 male and 82 female Australian high school students. Principal component analysis gave three interpretable factors: General External Control, Internal Control and Powerful Others Control. This factor pattern is different from those of Levenson (1974) and Walkey (1979). Further analyses utilizing mean scale scores and correlations showed some agreements and disagreements with these previous studies on scale characteristics. Evidence for the multidimensionality of the questionnaire and suggestions for further research on locus of control of high school students were also presented.
