A new model of health-related control was developed and tested over a series of five studies with the aim of creating a new set of measures of perceived control that would improve assessment and understanding of the role of control in health for those with and without chronic illness. Three multidimensional scales were proposed to assess the key dimensions of health-control: control beliefs, control motivations, and the preferred style of control. Following generation of an item pool, a pretest of the items' substantive validity for each scale was assessed in Study 1 with a sample of students with ( n = 19) and without chronic illness (n = 32). In Study 2, exploratory factor analyses and item analyses with a sample of students (n = 339) and community dwelling adults (n = 98) evaluated the proposed factor structure and composition of the scales. An initial test of the validity and reliability of the new scales was conducted in Study 3 using the Study 2 samples collapsed into a single group. After further item refinement, the factor structure of each scale was examined in Study 4 across three samples consisting of students (n = 301), those with arthritis (n = 336), and those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (n = 290). Convergent and divergent validity were also assessed. In Study 5, the concurrent validity of the scales was evaluated in an arthritis sample (n = 132), an IBD sample (n = 112), and a mixed chronic illness sample (n = 127). The relations of the new scales to measures of physical and psychological well-being and health-related behaviors were assessed across the collapsed sample. Overall, the results supported a multidimensional assessment of control beliefs, with Mastery, Adaptive Control, and Control Motivations demonstrating consistent and unique associations with indicators of psychological well being and health-related behaviors. Individual Modes of Control scales also accounted for differences in well-being and Communion was a good indicator of visits to health professionals. The validity of the new scales for populations with and without chronic illness is discussed and future directions to expand and clarify the current findings are proposed.
