Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychosomatic symptoms, high levels of stress, and the use of threat appraisals are symptoms associated with an external locus of control. This is because individuals with an external locus of control believe that external factors such as luck or fate control their lives, leading to feelings of helplessness and increased stress. These individuals may also use threat appraisals as a way to cope with this perceived lack of control. These symptoms are not associated with hardiness, reaction formation, or Type B personalities.
