Background Information:
According to Julian Rotter, each person has a locus of control which he claimed is either external or internal. There have been many studies conducted on the theory of locus of control. Findings from the majority of these studies demonstrate that individuals with a high, internal locus of control tend to perform better academically and in career settings. The articles that you will read this week can be directly applied to your educational and career pursuits. As such, the Discussion Forum posts for this week focus on the direct application of the researcher’s findings on locus of control to each of your academic and vocational goals.
