Abstract: The present study, wherein 210 college students self-reported an overall perceived stress level (mild, moderate, or severe) and then completed (1) the Student Life-Stress Inventory ,and (2) the Locus of Control, Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance Scale extends the work of Gadzella (1994a) on correlates of student stress. As in 1994, these findings showed significant correlations between the severe stress group scores and the Powerful Others and Chance scales and significant differences between the mild and severe stress group on the Chance scale
