Abstract

This study aims to examine the differences of religious affiliation, tolerance, age, sex, and teaching experience based on the locus of control (LoC) of teachers in Lagos state, Nigeria. The sample for the study consisted of 600 teachers, with 353 female and 247 male participants, aged between 22 and 60 years, and conveniently selected from 20 secondary schools in Lagos State. The study used two instruments: the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Control Scale (ANSIE) and the Tolerance Scale (TS). Data was analyzed using simple frequency count, mean, and t-test. Results showed statistically significant differences of age, teaching experience, and tolerance on LoC, but no significant differences of sex and religion. However, the participants’ level of LoC and tolerance were found to be high, at 96.5% and 64.2% respectively. The results of this study provide implications for counselor work with teachers in Lagos state. Based on the findings, it is recommended that counselors consider the impact of age, teaching experience, and tolerance on the locus of control of teachers when working with them. Counselors can also help teachers to further develop their internal locus of control. Additionally, these results could inform counselor education programs, providing guidance on developing the skills necessary to work with teachers and promote locus of control.

Abstract

Gifted students may experience psychological challenges alongside their high academic potential and performance demands. This study aimed to examine perfectionism and burnout as predictors of psychological distress among gifted students in Malang, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 69 gifted students aged 13–15 years who were enrolled in secondary education and had IQ scores above 130. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after testing the assumptions of normality, linearity, and multicollinearity. The results showed that perfectionism and burnout significantly predicted psychological distress simultaneously (F = 69.218, p < .001), with the regression model explaining 70.8% of the variance in distress (R² = .708). Partial analysis indicated that burnout was a significant positive predictor of distress (β = .558, p < .001), whereas perfectionism was a significant negative predictor (β = −.398, p < .001). These findings indicate that burnout and perfectionism have distinct relationships with psychological distress among gifted students. The findings highlight the importance of counseling practices that address burnout while considering the specific dimensions and characteristics of perfectionism among gifted students.
