Internal Locus Of Control

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.

I felt it was all my fault, and I should have stopped or done something, but there was no time for me to stop, the little guy ran out in front of me fairly quick I was on a narrow road with cars coming on the opposite side of the street and traffic flow behind me and there was nothing else I could

At the time of the accident, my family lived about 30 miles from the site. I’d been at home sick that week and had been in the midst of a late afternoon nap when my mother woke me up to watch the breaking news story.

I think that most people do not have an internal locus of control in all situations. For example, in a natural disaster or personal tragedy, you cannot control the events happening around you. The only thing you can control is your reaction to these events. I myself am a bit of a control freak. I like to be in control of my life and the situations or experiences I may be involved in.

All I can control is my reaction to the people in my life and the situations I may be faced with where I do not have control. Getting

When I woke up that morning it was just like any other summer morning getting ready to go to work. I woke up showered, got dressed, and grabbed a quick bite to eat. Out the door I went, it was a warm but cloudy morning in the beginning of July. Since I only had to drive to the west side of Sioux falls, which was closer to Humboldt where I live, I decided I was going to take gravel over to the highway like I always did going to that side of town. Off to work I went ready to start the day. Because I hate driving to work in the morning, I make it better by listening to the radio. I was driving down the gravel road when suddenly I blew a tire, got sucked right into the ditch. Just like that I slammed right into a utility pole, my mouth slammed

The week’s journal entry I will discuss a situation where I had either an internal locus of control or an external locus of control.

When this situation occurs there are two things that can happen. The first one being you become extremely upset at the person cutting in front or the second response being in control of your emotions and try to be understanding. In my case a situation happened a few weeks ago and

Although it was a gorgeous day, accidents still happen, and on this specific something dreadful did happen. This dreadful thing will leave me with a scar for the rest of my little life and it all happened when me and my friend were digging a hole. This was a miserable day after the accident happened and it was a bad thing but I didn’t go to the hospital. This story might freak you out so warning if you don’t like stories like this one.

(Tyler Uberstine) An individual is responsible for the situations that occur within their life, namely their psychological decisions and the examination of their own conscience. However, the circumstances and external factors on an event can really shift the responsibility from the individual to an extraneous force. When one’s “locus of control” is wholly external, the surrounding world and its problems are beyond his/her control, causing a submissive mindset.
