Achievement motivation is one of the important aspects of the human motivation system, as it determines the extent of the individual’s pursuit and perseverance in order to achieve and attain success. The level of achievement motivation is affected by
several factors, including the locus of control, which is the individual's belief about his abilities to control the events and situations he is exposed to. This research aimed to identify achievement motivation and locus of control's level and to determine the relationship between them among faculty nursing students in Tishreen University and identify the variance in achievement motivation and locus of control's level according to sex and educational year. 200 students who were selected from the all four academic years by available sampling. The achievement motivation scale, which was prepared by Tarek Al-masri (2020) has been used. Locus of control scale (1966) also has been used; this scale has been translated into Arabic by Alaa Al -den kafafi in 1982. The most important results are (78.5%) have high achievement motivation level, and (68%) have external locus of control. We have discovered a negative statistic relationship between achievement motivation and locus of control, where the level of achievement motivation increases when the level of external locus of control decrease. Also, it was found no statistically significant differences in achievement motivation and locus of control's level according to sex and educational year.
This study aimed to assessing the relationship between locus of control and
depression among breast cancer patients. The study was carried out in the chemical and
radiational treatment center in Tishreen University Hospital – Latakia, Data collecte
d
from15/12/2015 to 15/2/2016.The sample comprised of 100 breast cancer patients. Three
tools was been used, the first tool (Demographic and Clinical Data Sheet) was been filling
by the researcher, then all patients which participated in the study was asked to answer on
the second tool (Rotter's Locus of control Scale) and the third tool (Beck Inventory Scale
II). This study found that there was significant statistical relation between locus of
controltype and depression degree among breast cancer patients, more than half of breast
cancer patients was had depression, and was had external locus of control. So it is
recommended study theeffect of training program to modify locus of control type on the
incidence average of depression among breast cancer patients.
The current research aims to study the relationship between OCD and locus of
control and get to know the differences between those with internal and external
adjustment on obsessive-compulsive disorder between males and females scale,
the differen
ces for each of the variables of research "obsessive-compulsive
disorder and locus of control" between males and females through a sample of
(110) male and female from Baath University students through application of the
Arab gauge of obsessive-compulsive disorder scale and Rutter scale ( locus of
control) after checking the appropriate psychometric Features to research sample
and research concluded that there is a fundamental link between OCD and locus of
control among a sample search and differences in favor of those with external
adjustment in the presence of a high degree of obsessive compulsive disorder they
have, in addition to the differences between males and females in their scores on
obsessive-compulsive disorder in favor of females scale where received the highest
grades, and the existence of differences between males and females in the control
center in favor of females, where the grade is moving toward adopting and thirdparty
control. these results were discussed in the light of Previous studies literature
and cultural and social frameworks for community research.
The current study aims to discover the relationship between the patterns of family upbringing and the control center for a sample of first year high school students at public high schools. It also aims to determine whether there are any differences
between females and males in methods of family upbringing on the one hand and knowing these differences in the control center based on the gender variable. In order to achieve the goal of this study, a sample of 372 students (183 male students – 189 female students) was selected randomly from the first year high school at public schools in the city of Damascus. They underwent the family upbringing test and Router's local control center test. The study has yielded a number of results, the most important of which are:
There is a connective relationship of statistical indication among a number of family upbringing patters such as the independency and local control pattern, the acceptance and local control pattern. The study has also shown that over-protectiveness leads to low control center.
There are differences of statistical indications between males and females in the independency pattern in favor of males, and differences between males and females in the protection pattern in favor of females.
