The Relationship Between Internal-External Locus of Control and Implicit/Explicit Memory (Article written in chinese)

GUO Liping

Abstract

Employing process dissociation procedure, the present study investigated the relationship between internal-external locus of control and implicit/explicit memory using specific pictures and abstract pictures as materials. The results revealed that internals had higher recollection scores on both specific and abstract pictures than did externals, but externals had higher automaticity scores on abstract pictures than did internals. The results indicated that individual difference of locus of control exhibited difference both on explicit and implicit memory.

Keywords: internal-external locus of control; explicit memory; implicit memory; recollection; automaticity
