Question:

Strength of Locus of control for resistance with obedience?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

Supports the idea that individuals with an internal LOC more likely to resist pressure to obey. Oliner and Oliner interview non-jewish surviours of WW2 and compared those who has resisted orders and projeccted the Jewish peopele form the Nazi's. The researcher found 406 rescures, more likely to have an high internal LOC, in comparison with the 126 ppl who followed orders. Supports the idea that high internal LOC = high resistance but there are other factos that may have caused individuals to follow orders in WW2 so it is difficult to conclude that LOC is the only factor.
