Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The source that a person believes to be exerting control over life's events is known as locus of control. It refers to whether an individual believes that the events in their life are primarily a result of their own actions and choices (internal locus of control) or are primarily influenced by external factors such as luck, fate or the actions of others (external locus of control). The other options like low self-esteem, high self-efficacy, and internal focus are related to personality traits or self-perception, but not directly related to the belief of control over life situations.
