The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scale was a significant contribution to the development of the locus of control construct in establishing the importance of multiple sources of control. This article suggests that further development of the construct should include two distinct aspects of control beliefs: strategy and capacity beliefs. A confirmatory factor analysis that tested six competing models supported the use of multidimensional measurements of control. Correlations with existing measures of health-related control constructs, including the MHLC, supported the validity of the strategy and capacity dimensions.
多维健康控制点（MHLC）量表对控制点结构的发展做出了重大贡献，确立了多种控制源的重要性。本文表明，该结构的进一步发展应包括控制信念的两个不同方面：策略信念和能力信念。一项检验六个竞争模型的验证性因素分析支持了对控制进行多维测量的方法。与包括MHLC在内的现有健康相关控制结构测量方法的相关性，支持了策略维度和能力维度的有效性。
