    The relationship between study habits, study attitudes and intellectual achievement responsibility in a group of learning disabled adolescents
    (2000) Kaimowitz, Caryn; Donald, David
    The objectives of this study were to explore whether a significant relationship exists between study habits, study attitudes, academic locus of control and academic results in a group of learning disabled adolescents. In order to investigate this relationship, all of the grade 8 students at a remedial high school were required to complete the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, as well as the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Scale. Rank order correlations on the above variables yielded significant relationships between study habits and study attitudes, study habits and locus of control, study attitudes and locus of control, study attitudes and academic results and locus of control and academic results. Implications of these findings are discussed, as well as their significance in designing intervention programmes for learning disabled adolescents.
