N2  -  Summary. The term “Locus of Control” has been defined by Rotter (1954) as a general attitude regarding the nature of the causal relationship between one’s behavior and its consequences. External Locus of Control Behavior represents an important factor of psychopathological vulnerability and can increase people’s vulnerability to psychosis. Using the Craig Scale (1984), we investigated the Locus of Control Behavior in a sample of patients at high risk of psychosis compared to schizophrenia patients and mood disorder patients. Furthermore, we investigated the possible correlation between an external Locus of Control and psychopathological dimensions such as aberrant salience, and attenuated positive and negative symptoms.
