Julian Rotter's formulation of his theory of Locus-of-Control Expectancies (1966) began an enormous body of research on locus of control orientation. Much of this research has generated data supporting the notion that different types of locus of control orientation can be predictive of other individual differences. This study sought to extend that line of research and determine if an individual's locus of control orientation type could predict how he or she would respond to one of three sample college welcome letters constructed by the study's author. Ninety students taking Introduction to Psychology at California State University, Long Beach participated. Each participant's locus of control orientation was measured using Rotter's "Internal-External Locus of Control Scale." Using a two by three factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA), locus of control orientation type and letter read were compared to the numerical ratings given to the letter by the participant. It was predicted that participants would prefer the letter type that was designed to appeal to their specific locus of control orientation. Statistical analyses found no support for this hypothesis or for a second similar hypothesis on participant letter preferences. However, exploratory analyses did reveal some significant relationships between locus of control orientation and age and ethnicity. Limitations of the study, attempts to correct for these limitations and the study's relationship to the existing body of study on locus of control orientation are discussed.
