This chapter discusses issues relating to the sense of personal control: concept and measurement; social-structural causes; and, emotional consequences. The first section examines locus of control, self-efficacy, helplessness, and subjective alienation. The second section develops a theory of objective power and perceived control, while the third section describes the basic association between perceived control and psychological distress.
