An Investigation of Locus of Control and Achievement Motivation in Physically Handicapped Community College Students
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis research examined the relationship between condition of physical handicap, and locus of control and achievement motivation among community college handicapped students. Three categories of handicapped students were selected: (a) Deaf, (b) Blind, and (c) Orthopedically Impaired, and compared to able-bodied students on locus of control and achievement motivation. The purposes of the study included ascertaining (a) whether the three selected categories of community college handicapped students differed from able-bodied students in their locus of control orientation and in their need for achievement and (b) whether or not type of handicapping condition significantly affects locus of control and achievement motivation scores.
