Locus of control is what people perceive what their everyday outcomes will be. If a person has an internal locus then, they believe that they are in control of themselves and the influence of the world around them. A person with an external locus feels as though they cannot control the things that happen to them and the world around them. I, myself, have an internal locus because I believe that my actions control my life. If I do not work hard at something, I have only myself to blame for the outcome that I get.…

Throughout this course, there were many concepts in which I feel have opened my eyes about not only how to analyze others, but myself as well. The concept locus of control I found very familiar in my everyday life. I feel like whether I am succeeding at something it is due to myself and if I am unsuccessful at a certain task that as well is due to my performance of set task. This is my way of showing internal locus of control. I feel being this way helps me to be independent and know I can succeed on my own but when I stumble I can take responsibility and learn from my mistakes and grow as a person. This promotes a strong sense of self-efficacy…

Self assessments have been used widely in recent decades. The usefulness and truthfulness of these assessments depend entirely upon the user. Utilizing a self assessment tool for the betterment of self is the goal of this report. In this report, I have completed 3 different self assessments to analyze myself. The first assessment that will be discussed is the Jung Personality Test. The next one will be the Team Role Preference Survey followed by the Work Locus of Control Survey. Each of these surveys focuses on various behavioural and personality traits. The Jung Personality Test focuses on four principal physiological functions by which we view the world: feeling, intuition, sensation, and thinking. The team Role Preference Survey is geared towards identifying an individual's preferred roles in meetings and team activities. The Work Locus of Control is designed to determine control beliefs in the workplace. The results obtained from the three surveys indicated predominantly what I already knew about myself. My teamwork ability and my interpersonal skills allow me to be an effective mediator. My locus of control being in-between confirms my suspicion that I believe in effort equals reward but also that external factors are always an influence.…
Locus of Control Scale (Rotter, 1966). The Locus of Control is a 13 item questionnaire that measures a person’s perception of control which is internal or external control of reinforcement. Individuals with a high internal locus of control believes that their own actions determine the rewards they obtain. Individuals with high external locus of control believe that their own behavior does not matter and that rewards of life are outside of their control. Scores range from 0 to 13. A low score indicates an internal control while a high score indicates external…

ravis Hirschi has dominated control theory for four decades. His influence today is undiminished and likely will continue for years, if not decades, to come (see, e.g., Britt & Gottfredson, 2003; Gottfredson, 2006; Kempf, 1993; Pratt & Cullen, 2000). Beyond the sheer scholarly talent manifested in his writings, what accounts for Hirschi’s enduring influence on criminological theory? Three interrelated considerations appear to nourish the appeal of his thinking. First, Hirschi’s theories are stated parsimoniously. This means that his theory’s core propositions are easily understood (e.g., the lack of social bonds or of self-control increases criminal involvement). Second, Hirschi is combative and thus controversial. He stakes out a theoretical position and then argues that alternative perspectives are wrong. Hirschi (1983) has long been antagonistic to attempts to integrate theories. Good theories, he believes, have assumptions and an internal consistency that make them incompatible with other approaches. Attempts to mix them together result in fuzzy conceptual frameworks and inhibit the growth of the individual theories. Third, because Hirschi’s theories are parsimoniously stated and make claims that other theories are wrong, they are ideal to test empirically. One (but not the only) reason that theories flourish is that they are able to provide scholars with opportunities to conduct research and gain publications—the very accomplishment that allows for tenure…
In the book “Humanity & Sin”, control beliefs are defined as convictions about the sorts of theories we find acceptable. The author then went on in chapter 2 to disclose some of his control beliefs. I like the author, am a theist. Now I could do the off the wall thing that I was thinking about doing at the beginning of this assignment like describing my control beliefs on a variety of things. My “control beliefs” of the decade of the sixties and how it ruined America, how man never landed on the moon, how the NFL is rigged, who shot JFK, and heck even who shot Tupac and Biggie; however as I took a closer look at the author’s description of control beliefs, I stated to get the impression that my first thought was totally off. So I tried again, this time on more serious topics than my previous.…
Southeast Shoe Distributor (SSD) is a closely-owned business that was founded 10 years ago by Stewart Green and Paul Williams. SSD is a distributor that purchases and sells men's, women's, and children's shoes to retail shoe stores located in small to midsize communities. The company's basic strategy is to obtain a broad selection of designer-label and name-brand merchandise at low prices and resell the merchandise to small, one-location, retail stores that have difficulty obtaining reasonable quantities of designer and name-brand merchandise. The company is able to keep the cost of merchandise low by (1) selectively purchasing large blocks of production overruns, overorders, mid- and late-season deliveries, and previous season's stock from manufacturers and other retailers at significant discounts, (2) sourcing in-season name-brand and branded designer merchandise directly from factories in Brazil, Italy, and Spain, and (3) negotiating favorable prices with manufacturers by ordering merchandise during off-peak production periods and taking delivery at one central warehouse.…
I am well rounded, independent, and unique. I believe that being well rounded means that you are not just one way or another. It means you have a little bit of every thing. I think that independent means for a person to be out on their own in life. It means to be able to take care of them selves in life, along with other people. I am independent not interdependent. I do not rely on others for any thing. Meaning I do not get help with bills, money, school, child, car, or any other aspect in life. Interdependent means you get help from others or depend on other to do things for you. I think that self serving bias is some thing that every one has to some degree or another. I think that it is a bias opinion that enhances or widens your ego or self esteem. For me I am self bias towards my self in the fact that I am a very vain person. I believe I am very attractive meaning my self esteem is great about how I look when others are around. Locus of control theory is where people believe that they can control events that can affect them. External locus of control is a person that believes the whole world is out to get them, luck does exist, and that life is unfair. Internal locus of control is when a person has feelings of being responsible for the outcomes that happen in their lives.…
