PERSONALITY AND INTEGRATION OF SPANISH EMIGRANTS IN CANADA
Abstract
An important problem of the emigrants in a new country is the degree of psychosocial integration and adaption. On this paper the rol of a personality dimension -locus of control expectancy- in such integration is evaluated. Three scales (I,P,C Scales of Levenson, Rotter Incomplete Sentences Test, and Cantril's MOdified Scale) are employed in 144 adults males and females, residentes in Toronto (Canada). The results shows no statistical influence of locus of control but the "internal" subjects are more predisposed to search help information that "external". The "internal" are more adapted that "external".Downloads
