Abstract

The Internal-External Control, Guilford Depression, and Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scales were administered to 69 university undergraduates to test the hypothesis that depression is associated with belief in external control. The results supported the hypothesis. Implications of the results for notions which link I-E to maladjustment in a U-shaped fashion and for some psychodynamic notions regarding correlates of depression were discussed.
