Scores on the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children (N-SLOCSC) were compared for third and fifth grade boys and girls from intact versus maritally disrupted family backgrounds. Significant main effects for each independent variable revealed that fifth graders more than third, boys more than girls, and the marital disruption more than the intact group, exhibited higher internality in their locus of control scores. These findings strongly suggest that experiencing a parental divorce in childhood has a significant influence on generalized perceptions of personal control and effectance, perceptions which may ultimately mediate both short- and long-term outcomes in children's post-divorce adjustment.
对来自完整家庭背景和婚姻破裂家庭背景的三、五年级男孩和女孩，比较他们在儿童诺维茨基-斯特里克兰控制点量表（N-SLOCSC）上的得分。每个自变量的显著主效应表明，五年级学生比三年级学生、男孩比女孩、婚姻破裂组比完整组在控制点得分上表现出更高的内控性。这些发现有力地表明，童年经历父母离婚对个人控制感和效能感的普遍认知有重大影响，而这些认知可能最终会调节儿童离婚后适应的短期和长期结果。
