The health locus of control scale measures individuals' beliefs about the extent to which they have control over their health. It consists of three subscales: internal locus of control (belief that one's actions determine their health status), external locus of control (belief that external factors such as luck, fate or powerful others determine one's health), and chance locus of control (belief that one's health is a matter of luck or chance). Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The window of vulnerability refers to the period in life when one becomes susceptible to risky behaviors, the health belief model explains how an individual's beliefs and attitudes about health affect their actions, and abstinence violation effect occurs when individuals feel that they have failed to meet goals related to abstinence from a particular behavior.
