The Health Locus of Control (HLC) and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scales have been widely used as measurements of health beliefs. However these scales have some issues in conceptual structure and application for Japanese when translated versions were introduced in Japan without taking into account the cultural background of respondents. Although some tools for measurement of health beliefs have been developed by Japanese researchers, they did not pay attention to the conceptual aspect of contingency, controllability and causal attribution of behaviors which were points stressed in the process of development of HLC and MHLC. Therefore this study has focused on the development of a new scale for predicting health behaviors for Japanese so as to solve the conceptual questions mentioned above at the same time. Studies of the original 32 item scale,which has three dimensional sub scale; internal-external, controllable-uncontrollable, and stable-unstable, were conducted among undergraduate students of a certain University. As a result of three consecutive surveys and re-test, we have finally developed 16 item scale which has acceptable levels of reliability and construct validity. Item analysis were performed to determine item effectiveness and eight sub scales were found in the 16 item scale by factor analysis as expected. Cronbach's-$ \alpha $ reliability coefficients were from 0.626 to 0.786. An eight week interval study revealed that this new scale has acceptable levels of reliability (test-retest reliability, r=0.506-0.747).
