Question

Justin has three projects due next week. He is frustrated because he just knows all the professors make their due dates the same on purpose. He will never get all three projects finished, so he is going to forget about them and try out a bar with his new friends, Justin has:

Answer 1

Answer:    External locus of control

Explanation:  There is an internal and external locus of control, and Justin has an external locus. Those people who tie their work, success or failure exclusively to their own efforts, regardless of external factors, have an internal locus of control.

Unlike them, Justin attributes his successes, or failure in this case, to external influences, specifically because of the conspiracy of three teachers to give the same due dates, and therefore he has an external locus of control. Simply put, Justin and others like him tend to blame others for their own failures. In the case of the success of people with external locus of control, this success can be attributed to luck, fate, the circumstances of the environment, and even divine intervention.
