  1. What if we asked school students to solve real life problems? Real time? For example, a large capital city’s pollution problem? What if they had to bring common sense and learning to the table, work with each other and suggest a solution that might work while showing them how their learning was useful to real life? They might just bring amazing new solutions that are welcome, and they will certainly bring a whole new level of appreciation of learning.

  2. Earlier studies relating locus of control to social action have produced mixed results. The present investigation examined the moderating effects of perceived outcome on the relationship between activism in the form of anti-pollution behavior and I-E. A representative sample (n = 433) of Winnipeg's adult population was interviewed to obtain data. As predicted, among people optimistic about future levels of pollution, internally oriented individuals engaged in more anti-pollution activities. Among pessimistic respondents there was virtually no relationship between l-E and social actions. Internals also had more accurate information about environmental pollution. representational painting, the evaluation of an abstract painting, the solution rate for anagrams, and elapsed time estimation did not vary as a function of room condition and personality. Sex differences vere also not found to be critical.
