Individuals with an internal locus of control tend to have better health outcomes compared to those with an external locus of control. This is because they are more likely to take responsibility for their health behaviors and outcomes, while those with an external locus of control may feel less in control and therefore less likely to engage in healthy behaviors.
An internal variable will change due to computations in the program module. An externalvariable will change due to other changes (external input).
Locus of Control refers to the extent to which individuals believe that they can control events that affect them. Individuals with a high internal locus of control believe that events result primarily from their own behavior and actions. Those with a high external locus of control believe that powerful others, fate, or chance primarily determine events. Those with a high internal locus of control have better control of their behavior and tend to exhibit more political behaviors than externals and are more likely to attempt to influence other people; they are more likely to assume that their efforts will be successful. They are more active in seeking information and knowledge concerning their situation than do externals. The propensity to engage in political behavior is stronger for individuals who have a high internal locus of control than for those who have a high external locus of control.
Perceptual differences arising from locus of control refer to how individuals attribute events to either internal factors (internal locus of control) or external factors (external locus of control). This can influence how individuals perceive and respond to uncertainty in working life. Those with an internal locus of control may exhibit greater agency and actively seek to cope with uncertainty through problem-solving and adaptability. On the other hand, individuals with an external locus of control may feel more helpless and may rely on external sources for guidance in coping with uncertainty. Understanding these differences can help tailor behavioral strategies, such as providing autonomy and fostering self-efficacy, to better support individuals in navigating uncertainty in the workplace.
An internal locus of control is believing that ones choice will affect the outcome, being in control of ones "destiny."An example could be that... I have a very hard final coming in 2 weeks, and even though I am not happy about the material, or studying, i believe that if I study hard, I will be able to pass the test.An external locus of control would be if I believed that not matter how much I studied, I would fail anyway, so I shouldn't try. External is believing that my choices will not affect the outcome.
