Detailed explanation-1: -Locus of control is the degree to which people believe that they, as opposed to external forces (beyond their influence), have control over the outcome of events in their lives. The concept was developed by Julian B. Rotter in 1954, and has since become an aspect of personality psychology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The perception that one can strongly influence the outcome and destiny of one’s own life exemplifies: an internal locus of control. Researchers have observed that the experience of repeated uncontrollable traumatic events contributes to: learned helplessness.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, students with an internal locus of control might blame poor grades on their failure to study, whereas students with an external locus of control may blame an unfair teacher or test for their poor performance.
Detailed explanation-4: -People who develop an internal locus of control believe that they are responsible for their own success. Those with an external locus of control believe that external forces, like luck, determine their outcomes.
