-
This study examined the relation of two aspects of parental efficacy (locus of control and interpersonal support) to the social competence of 62 children aged 2 to 5 years in a preschool setting. The following assessment instruments were used: Schaefer's (1979) Locus of Control Inventory to measure parental locus of control; Paul's Home Support Inventory to measure interpersonal support; The Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning to measure the child's level of functioning; and the Preschool Version of the Classroom Behavior Inventory to measure the child's social competence as assessed by teachers and parents. One of the major findings of this study was that the child's development of social competence is interrelated with the dimensions of his or her development and ecology. In addition, locus of control appears to influence the way parents view their children's behavior; for example, externally controlled parents had negative assessments of their child's social competence. Three patterns of efficacy were identified: (1) the clear direction which externality gave to parent and child relationships at home, in school, and in the community; (2) the connection between significant support persons and the child's development of social competence; and (3) the interactional nature of development and the ecology.
