Die effek van intelligensie op die verhouding tussen lokus van kontrole en taakkompleksiteit.

The effect of intelligence on the relationship between locus of control and task complexity. The aim of the study was to establish the effects of intelligence on the relationship between locus of control and task complexity. These constructs were selected by virtue of their importance in the literature, as well as the lack of empirical research regarding the assumed relationship which exists between them. The Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) General Scholastic Aptitude Test (ASAT) was used for measuring intelligence, Duttweiler's Internal Control Index (ICI) was used for determining locus of control and the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) was used as a criterion for coping with task complexity. These instruments were administered to 292 subjects to determine whether the relationship between locus of control and task complexity was effected when the effect of intelligence was controlled. The results indicated a significant relationship between locus of control and task complexity, however the relationship was no longer significant after the effect of intelligence was controlled
