Select one:

a. postpurchase dissonance.

b. social risk.

c. attribute sets.

d. reference group identification.

e. locus of control.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter E. locus of control.

Explanation:

Jorden seems to think he can control the situation in which he finds himself. Locus of control can be defined as precisely that - the belief one has in one's ability to control the outcome of events, as opposed to external forces. Jorden most likely believes his actions will somehow influence the outcome of his flight. Even though he does not have enough knowledge, he thinks he will be able to spot problems in the plane, or decide whether the pilot and crew are good enough for the job. His locus of control is misguided.
