A Woman of Substance

I’ve noticed a difference between me and my friend Iago, during that one class a few weeks ago where we talked about the locus of control me and Iago compared our scores. I was rather surprised to find us being almost at complete opposite ends! I personally appear to have an external locus of control meaning I think external forces are to blame. On the other hand Iago has an internal locus of control meaning he thinks he is in control of situations rather than external forces being the cause.

Sometimes my solutions work and others times they don’t. reviewing the score, I can see what they are saying and thinking I agree with the score follow the proper process can results in better problem on my part and how you handle the situation. But having a good balance and understanding of your locus of control helps. My score 24 internal locus of control (strong), which I think fit me in my lifestyle. Having a strong locus of control allows me to control the outcome with hard work, attributes or decisions. Also, explains I am inquisitive, and try to figure out why things turn out the way they did.

There are many different types of control that are experienced throughout any given person’s lifetime. There is being the person in control, being controlled by someone else, and even being controlled by one’s self. Each position has an effect on surrounding people and the mental state of the being. Within the texts, Macbeth, “And of Clay we are Created,” “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and “To Build a Fire,” the influence of control is always there, but appears in different forms.

whereas externals believe that feedback to be strictly due to forces outside of their control (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Locus of control is a concept developed by Julian Rotter as part of his own social-learning approach to psychology. Haynes and Ayliffe (1991) utilize a theory of internal and external attribution that parallels Rotter’s locus of control, specifying attribution as an important mental process when addressing self accountability. Internal attribution is behavioral change that is instigated internally by the individual, such as a conscious decision to modify behavior. External attribution is change that is caused by outside factors such as medication or disease (Haynes & Ayliffe, 1991). An excellent example of these concepts is an alcoholic who is told

It was a concept that ran through my mind often growing up. I hated this concept, because I use to perceive negatively as a way of people trying to control me. But now I think the concept of taking responsibility is one of the most fundamental concepts in life towards being truly happy.
