首先我查阅了http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control 该页面指出这个概念是Rotter于1954年发展的,但是没有给出处。
然后我去查了Rotter(1954)的文献,发现有这么一本书:
Rotter, J. B. (1954), Social Learning and Clinical Psychology, New York: Prentice-Hall.
找一本书太困难了,我决定再看看二次引用。随便选几句如下:
Rotter, J. B. (1975). Some problems and misconceptions related to the construct of internal versus external control of reinforcement. Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 43(1), 56.
The concept of internal versus external control of reinforcement developed out of social learning theory(Rotter,1954;...)
Findley, M. J., & Cooper, H. M. (1983). Locus of control and academic achievement: A literature review. Journal of personality and social psychology, 44(2), 419.
The concept of locus of control, although relatively new (Rotter, 1954)....
Spector, P. E. (1982). Behavior in organizations as a function of employee's locus of control. Psychological bulletin, 91(3), 482.
Rotter (1966) and his colleagues developed the concept of locus of control from Rotter's (1954) social learning theory...
随便选了3条,可以看出,Rotter的“Social Learning and Clinical Psychology”至少是提到了控制点的内涵,但没有正式使用“locus of control”的字样。
我决定再跑回Rotter(1966)的“Generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement”看看,发现通篇文章没有提到“locus of control”,只有在引用文献里提到了:
Adams-Webber, J. Perceived locus of control of moral sanctions. Unpublished master's thesis, Ohio State University, 1963.
我也不查这个硕士论文的内容了。
其实结论我觉得很简单。控制点理论的内容的确是由Rotter提出并发展的,但是后人没有采用他用的术语,而是用了Heider(1958)的术语。实际上我们还是应该把这个理论的发现权归于Rotter。
匆匆忙忙的结论,不足之处见谅。 |
