Are locus of control and depression related
39 inpatients at a private psychiatric hospital were administered the Rotter Locus of Control Scales and the MMPI. External locus of control was compared for groups using multiple definitions of depression. Generally, comparisons did not support the hypothesis that depressed individuals are more external and the direction of the scores suggests the results of any given study may depend on the type of depressed individuals in the samples. The above results, the correlations between locus of control and the MMPI scales, and a review of the literature suggest types or degree of depression may have different dynamics and some types may be related to locus of control while other types of depression are not related to locus of control.
This paper is about location decisions of Creative Industries and the role played by existent spatial distribution and agglomeration economies of these kinds of activities in order to analyse their location determinants. Our main statistical source is the REIC (Catalan Manufacturing Establishments Register), which has plant-level microdata on location of new plants. Using Count Data Models, our main results show that location determinants are quite similar between both industries and also both non-creative and creative firms are positively influenced by the specialisation level in Creative Industries of municipalities. Moreover, our results provide evidence that the unobserved â€˜creative milieuâ€™ has a limited impact on attracting firms. Keywords: creative industries, creative milieu, count data models, industrial location, agglomeration economies
