Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Andy's belief that situations are under his control indicates an internal locus of control. This means that he is likely to attribute his successes and failures to his own abilities and efforts rather than external factors. This internal locus of control, combined with his confidence (self-efficacy), is likely to moderate any stress he feels. Social support may also be beneficial, but since Andy has not had the opportunity to build close relationships with co-workers, this may not be as significant a factor for him. Experience is not mentioned as a relevant factor in this scenario.
