Alienation and Health Locus of Control Among Peptic Ulcer Patients

The study was designed to explore for any possible concurrence of peptic ulcer with alienation and health locus of control in samples drawn from Srinagar (J & K) and Aligarh (U.P.). The sample consisted of 100 subjects from Srinagar and 100 from Aligarh. Further, each group was divided into two equal halves in terms of gender (50 males and 50 females). The subjects completed alienation and health locus of control questionnaires individually. The results of analysis of variance revealed that the main effects sex and region were significant. The z- scores indicate that the correlations between alienation and health locus of control are significantly different for the patients of peptic ulcer from Srinagar and Aligarh and for male and female.
