摘要：The goal of present study is investigating about the relation between parents' locus of control with academic self- efficacy of sixth grade students of Gonabad elementary schools. To gather data, two questionnaires were used: Campis, Lyman, and Prentis-Dunn's questionnaire of parent's locus of control, and Jinks and Morgan questionnaire of academic self-efficacy. Statistical populations were all sixth grade elementary students of Gonabad and their parents who were 817 persons. 260 persons were chosen botryoidally. The findings showed that among components related to the fathers' locus of control, the largest mean belongs to accountability and the smallest mean belongs to self-efficacy and believing in chance and fate. Among components related to the mothers' locus of control, life control was the highest, and self-efficacy was the lowest mean. Among fathers' locus of control, the component of "believing in chance and fate" had the highest correlation coefficient with students' emotional self-efficacy and it had the lowest correlation coefficient with the fathers' accountability and students' social self-efficacy. Among mothers' locus of control, believing in chance and fate had the highest correlation coefficient with students' emotional self-efficacy and mothers' accountability component had the lowest correlation coefficient with students' emotional self-efficacy' and academic self-efficacy . Among components of the fathers' locus of control, believing in chance and fate and controlling children's behavior could define students' self-efficacy. Mothers' believing in chance and fate can predict students' self-efficacy. The result also showed that there is a significant difference between the average of social self-efficacy of girls and boys
