Use the following passage to answer questions:
A study was undertaken to determine if there were differences in the health beliefs, health locus of control, and self-concept of adult women who practice breast self-examination (BSE) compared with women who do not. A sample of 207 women, drawn from a variety of settings, completed four research instruments. Analysis of the data revealed differences between the practice and non-practice groups in terms of health beliefs, health locus of control, and self-concept, as well as a positive relationship between the measure of health belief and the measure of self-concept. Specifically, the group that practiced BSEs had higher levels of health beliefs and higher self-concept levels than the group that did not. Also, those who practiced BSEs tended to be less inclined to have a health locus of control that depended on a powerful other, in this case a physician.
