relationship between level of racial identity development and locus of control of African American students at three predominately White American universities
Using a sample of 419 African American male and female
university students, racial identity development and locus of
control were examined. Descriptive statistics and chi square
analysis were used to examine the relationships between
selected demographic variables, preferred ethnic label,
levels of racial identity development, and categories of
locus of control. Results indicated that the demographic
variables of subjects' age and mothers' income were
statistically significant as they relate to racial identity
development. In addition, a statistically significant
relationship was found between locus of control and racial
identity development. Demographic variables were not
statistically significant as they related to category of
locus of control. The relationship between preferred ethnic
label and racial identity development could not be explored
due to limited cell sizes. Possible explanations of these
findings were discussed, along with methodological issues.
