Abstract
Locus of control has frequently been viewed as a cognitive model of personality. Its roots can actually be seen in behaviorism as the immediate background to this concept related to beliefs about reinforcements. According to Weiner, the “attribution theory assumes that people try to determine why people do what they do i.e., attribute causes to behavior.†Julian Rotter’s original (1966) locus of control formulation classifies generalized beliefs concerning who or what influences things along bipolar dimension from internal to external control: “Internal control†is the term used to describe the belief that control of future outcomes resides primarily in oneself while “external control†refers to the expectancy that control is outside of oneself either in the hands of powerful other people or due to fact/chance.
