What Is Locus Of Control

The idea of locus of control was proposed by Rotter in 1966, which is the belief by some people that they have the control over their own lives. People with an internal locus of control believe that they have control over what happens in their life and that it all happens due to their own behaviour. Whereas other people with external locus of control believe that what happens to them is controlled by external factors and that they completely don't have any control over their own lives. Rotters conclusion was that people with internal locus of control are more likely to obey to or conform compared to people with external locus of control.
