Focusing Your Perspective: 01. Locus of Control

In the elearning course Locus of Control, we will discuss whether successes and failures are a result of our actions or outside influences, and how the Locus of Control plays a part. We will review this psychological concept that was first introduced in 1954, and is widely used in personality studies today. We will also discuss the two components of your Locus of Control, internal and external, and look at the differences between them and their link to your daily life. Finally, we will discuss the benefits of understanding your own Locus of Control and why this changes over the course of your lifetime.

Part of the series called Focusing Your Perspective, this course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials and a short online quiz to check your comprehension of the course.
