locus of control refers to the extent to which individuals believe they can control events affecting them.
Individuals with a strong internal locus of control believe events in their life derive primarily from their own actions:
for example, when receiving test results, people with an internal locus of control tend to praise or blame themselves and their abilities.
People with a strong external locus of control tend to praise or blame external factors such as the teacher or the test.
