Historical Context: 

The effects of control-oriented training on life satisfaction are investigated. Sixty-seven female Algoma University College students were assigned to one of four treatment groups designed to increase their feelings of control over their lives. Analysis of variance was used to assess changes in Life Satisfaction Index-B Scores (Neugarten, Havighurst and Tobin, 1961). Significant increases in life satisfaction were found in one of the treatment groups. Results show that this new control oriented training may be used to increase womens' satisfaction with their lives.
