Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with an internal locus of control believe that they have control over their lives and circumstances. As a result, they are more likely to take actions to change their situations and take charge of their lives. In contrast, people with an external locus of control believe that their lives are mainly shaped by external factors such as luck or fate, leading to a sense of helplessness and lack of control. The other options, global and stable explanatory styles, are related to how individuals explain causes of events in their lives, but not necessarily to their sense of control or proactivity.
