Health locus of control is one of the most widely measured parameters of health belief for the planning of health education programs. Materials and Methods: 496 university students participate in this study. The reliability coefficients were calculated in two different methods: test- retest, parallel tests and Cronbach alpha. In order to survey validity of the scale we used three methods including content validity, concurrent validity and construct validity. Results: The concurrent validity of the questionnaire, as measured by Levenson’s IPC scale was.57 (P LA eng UL http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-39-en.html M3 ER -
