BLAMING AND EXCUSE-MAKING AS A FUNCTION OF INTERNAL-EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL: FURTHER EVIDENCE
心理控制源倾向对责备与辩解的影响:进一步的证据

This is a further research following Wang and Anderson(1990). 149 Chinese college students rated excuses under both failure and success situations, and assigned blames to self, another person, and"no one" under joint-responsible situations. Subjects also fulfilled the Revised Rotter's I-E Scale. Results indicated that externals had higher ex- cuse-tendencies than internals in both failure and success situations. Externals also assigned more blame to another person, but no differ- ences appeared on the blame assignment to self and "no one", when compared with internals. Results were discussed from the standpoint of research methodology and the psychodynamics of everyday life.
