FEEDBACK: A comparison of adolescent Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and African-American teenagers found that having a more internal locus of control was considered to be more important for the Caucasians but less so for the other groups (Kang, Chang, Chen, & Greenberger, 2015). Research on Hispanic immigrants to the United States showed that those with a higher internal locus of control were more effective in adapting to the demands of their new culture and in dealing with the effects of discrimination or being marginalized (Llamas & Consoli, 2014).
