TI  - Dental fear and locus of control: a pilot study.
PG  - 127
AB  - In a pilot study among 25 Norwegian elementary schoolchildren age 13 the external 
      part of a Health Locus of Control (HLC) inventory, when scored in internal 
      direction, showed remarkably high positive correlations with clinical anxiety (r 
      = 0.81) and scores on Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS) (r = 0.77). The high 
      correlation between the E-part of the HLC scale and CDAS was upheld when HLC was 
      given to 19 children 20 months later. All other correlations in the pilot study 
      were moderate to absent.
