Obese adolescents and children of alcoholics have been reported to exhibit an external locus of control orientation. Due to the perceived loss of control over personal eating behavior versus limited control over environmental circumstances, it was believed that obese adolescent girls would show greater externality than children of alcoholics. Rotter's I-E Scale was administered to 19 moderately obese adolescent girls and 10 girls who were children of alcoholics in outpatient treatment. While both groups scored within the external range of control orientation, there was no statistically significant difference between the samples. Contrary to prediction, obese adolescent girls and adolescents from alcoholic environments have similar world views on control orientation.
据报道，肥胖青少年和酗酒者的子女表现出一种外控倾向。由于认为对个人饮食行为失去控制，而对环境状况的控制有限，所以人们认为肥胖的少女比酗酒者的子女会表现出更强的外控倾向。对19名中度肥胖的少女和10名正在门诊接受治疗的酗酒者子女进行了罗特内外控量表测试。虽然两组在控制倾向的外控范围内得分，但样本之间没有统计学上的显著差异。与预测相反，肥胖少女和来自酗酒环境的青少年在控制倾向方面有相似的世界观。
