Comparison of locus of control among Muslim and Jewish school students in Iran.

A comparison was made of scores on locus of control by 210 Muslim and 210 Jewish school students. These two groups were matched on sex, age, and father's education. No significant differences were found between Muslim and Jewish students. Also, frequencies of the responses to each scale item in two religious groups were compared. The results are considered in relation to previous studies and some cultural implications are addressed.
