This investigation was designed to gather construct validation data for a much used test of a promising new personality construct. The Bialer-Cromwell Children's Locus of Control Scale was administered to 54 blind children and sighted children matched for mental age. The results indicated that blind children scored lower for internal control than sighted children; younger children scored lower than older children on the same trait. The scale demonstrated itself to be a valid measure of a trait seemingly related to an individual's ability to perceive himself in control of events around him.
