LOCUS OF CONTROL AMONG ADOLESCENTS WITH ALCOHOLIC FATHERS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
A child being raised by an alcoholic parent or caregiver may have a variety of conflicting emotions that need to be addressed in order to avoid future problems. There is a belief that children with parents who abuse substances are at increased risk for negative consequences. It has been suggested that children of alcoholics express belief in a more external locus of control and have lower self-esteem than do children of nonalcoholics. The purpose of the present research was to assess the locus of control among adolescents of alcoholic fathers. The Hanna Levinsons Locus of Control scale by Dr. Sanjay Vhora was used. Percentage mapping of the types of control indicated that as adolescents of alcoholic fathers move from early to late adolescence, their locus of control changes from perceiving powerful others or chance factors, towards individual control to a certain extent in their lives.
