Locus of Control

Locus of Control

Locus of Control refers to a person's conviction that they themselves are in control of their actions and their lives. It describes whether someone is more likely to believe that their actions determine their fate (internal control) or whether external factors and fate decide (external control).

Statistics and meaning

Studies show that the Locus of Control has an impact on various areas of life, including professional development and mental health. People with an internal locus of control tend to be more successful and satisfied.

Causes and examples

The Locus of Control develops through various influences such as education, experiences and personal successes or failures. An example of an internal locus of control is when someone believes that hard work leads to professional success, while a person with an external locus of control might think luck or chance are decisive.
