Abstract

Abstract This research was intended to identify Locus of Control (lntemall External) of AIDS patients, as well as their social inclination and emotional stability. The relationship between locus of control, social inclination and emotional stability among both patients and non-patients. Gender difference among patients on (locus of control- social inclination- emotional stability) was also investigated. This research also aimed at examining the relationship, between locus of control, social inclination and emotional stability in the light of educational level of patients. The researcher used the descriptive method (correlational- comparative). The sample comprised both AIDS patients and non-patients from a number of states in Sudan; the sample size consisted of (200) males and females selected on the basis of purposive random sampling. The research tools involved: primary information list designed by researcher, locus of control scale prepared by Faroug Abdelfatah, social inclination scale designed by Mohayad Mohamed Elmotwalcil, and emotional stability scale prepared by Shadia Osman. A number of statistical tests were used to verify the hypotheses of this study such as: Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and T~test for Two Independent Samples. The findings of this research were as follows: 1. There was significant statistical difference on locus of control between (HIV) patients and non-patients. 2. There was significant statistical diflerence on social inclination between patients and non-patients. 3. There was significant statistical difference on emotional stability between (AJDS) patients and non-patients. 4. There was negative correlation between the scores on locus of control and the scores on social inclination and emotional stability. (A) There was significant statistical difference on locus of control among patients attributed to gender (males/ females) favoured females. (B) No significant difference was found on social inclination among patients attributed to age. (C) There was significant statistical difference on emotional stability among patients with (AIDS) attributed to gender (males/ females) favoured males. There was negative correlation between patients level of education and locus of control, and positive correlation between level of education, social inclination and emotional stability. (A) There was no interaction between (AIDS) infection (lnfected/ Not infected) and locus of control on emotional stability). (B) There was significant interaction between (AIDS) infection (Infected/ Not infected) and locus of control on emotional stability. The results were then discussed on the light of theoretical framework and previous researches. A set of recommendations as well as suggestions for future researches were stated to enrich this area (AIDS) and its related factors.
