Abstract

The purposes of this study were to develop a Safe Locus of Control Scale for elementary school children from the viewpoint of Health Locus of Control that derived from Social Learning Theory developed by Rotter JB, to examine the relationship between childhood Safe Locus of Control and Social Support Cognition. Questionnaire method was implemented on children from 5thand 6thgrade in two elementary schools, and 437 answers were returned.Factor analysis yielded 3 factors which corresponded with the hypothesized 3 components:"self control","powerful other control","chance control". As a result, high reliability and validity of the Safe Locus of Control Scale for elementary school children were confirmed.Referring to the relationship betwe en Social Support and Safety Locus of Control, the result implies children who are able to feel they are getting Social Support from the other influential people such as"family"or"teacher", can boost the sense of Self-affirmation of Control, i. e."self control"and"powerful other control". It is therefore considered that in future development of Safety education in elementary school, the level of consciousness in which safety promotion is done together with the children's families and teachers should be raised.
