1Department of Psychology, University of Durban-Westville, Republic of South Africa.
Abstract:
The present study was done to explore the influence of involuntary migration on children's perception of control. Three groups of 50 black South African children each were randomly selected from three types of migrant populations. A control group of 50 nonmigrant children was also formed. To this sample a multidimensional measure of children's perception of control was administered. Analysis showed differences in perception of control by migrant and nonmigrant children as well as among the various groups of migrant children. Such variations were attributed to migration process and differences in educational and socioeconomic status.
