Abstract
This is a replication study to investigate the validity (factor structure) and reliability (alpha internal consistency, and test-retest reliability) of Fumham's Economic Locus of Control Scale (ELOC) for a Southern African black group. Three factors emerged, viz. an 'Internal' factor, a 'chance' factor and 'Powerful Others'. Alpha coefficients and test-retest coefficients indicated sufficient levels of reliability. Possible reasons for different answering patterns as well as possible application areas are discussed. Opsomming Hierdie is 'n repliseringstudie om die geldigheid (faktorstruktuur) en die betroubaarheid (alfa interne konsekwentheid en toets-hertoetsbetroubaarheid) van Fumham se "Economic Locus of Control Scale" (ELOC) op 'n Suider Afrikaanse swart groep te ondersoek. Drie faktore is onttrek, naamlik 'n "Interne" faktor, 'n "Kans"-faktor en 'n "Magtige Ander Persone"-faktor. Alfa koeffisiente en toets-hertoets koeffisiente dui aanvaarbare betroubaarheid aan. Moontlike redes vir verskillende patrone van beantwoording asook toepassingsmoontlikhede word bespreek.
