Abstract

This article examines individuals' implicit theory of perceived control. Three studies are reported (N's = 77, 87, 45). The results demonstrate that individuals' implicit theory of perceived control is based on two orthogonal dimensions (stability-instability and contingency). The similarities between this model and the work of others (e.g., Bandura, 1977 ) are made, and a common conceptual framework is identified. Finally, the notion of mediated control is developed and explored.
