Locus of Control as a Spectrum
A professor argues that individuals with an external locus of control consistently blame external factors, such as fate, for their failures and do not acknowledge personal influence. Which evidence best refutes this generalized assertion?
Rotter’s (1966) Locus of Control Scale, which revealed a spectrum of external–internal orientations rather than a uniform tendency to blame fate.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which categorizes motivations but does not delineate the nuances of locus of control.
Bandura’s research on self‐efficacy, which, although related to personal belief, does not directly address locus of control measurements.
Rogers’ theory of self‐actualization, which emphasizes growth but does not measure attributional style regarding fate.
