Re-examined how psychiatric patients' perception by their treatment setting was related to locus of control, unconfounded by variations in treatment setting, differences in pathology, or length of hospitalization. Forty male patients were drawn from the general psychiatric' population of Norwich Hospital. They were administered the Rotter I-E Scale, Ward Atmosphere and Ward Initiative Scales. In contrast to reports found in the literature, the results of the study indicated that internally oriented patients preferred a well-ordered, organized treatment setting in which therapeutic objectives and treatment procedures were defined clearly. A most important determinant of the perception of the treatment setting appeared to be the Internals' personal involvement in the therapeutic functioning of the unit. Externals felt that the level of personal participation in the operation of the unit should be minimal and that treatment plans and procedures should be formulated by professional staff and not by their peers.
重新审视了精神病患者对其治疗环境的认知与控制源之间的关系，不受治疗环境差异、病理差异或住院时间长短的干扰。从诺维奇医院的普通精神病人群中抽取了40名男性患者。对他们进行了罗特内外控量表、病房氛围量表和病房主动性量表的测试。与文献中的报道相反，该研究结果表明，内控型患者更喜欢秩序井然、组织有序的治疗环境，其中治疗目标和治疗程序都有明确规定。对治疗环境认知的一个最重要决定因素似乎是内控型患者个人对科室治疗功能的参与度。外控型患者认为个人对科室运作的参与程度应降至最低，治疗计划和程序应由专业人员而非他们的同龄人制定。
