This study examined the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scales with chronic cigarette smokers (N = 146) who volunteered for treatment through an at-large cessation clinic. Results showed that expectancies for health control were not distributed along three independent domains as implied by the format of the instrument. Instead, health locus of control orientation was found to be bidimensional, with domains defined by the Internal and Powerful Others measures. Several alternative explanations for this finding are discussed.
本研究通过一个面向大众的戒烟诊所，对146名自愿接受治疗的慢性吸烟者进行了多维健康控制源（MHLC）量表的心理测量特性检验。结果显示，健康控制期望并非如该量表形式所暗示的那样，沿着三个独立维度分布。相反，发现健康控制源取向是二维的，维度由内控和有势力的他人分量表定义。文中讨论了这一发现的几种替代解释。
