What is Locus Control?. Locus of Control is in short words is a way in which people can perceive outcomes, whether that is a result due to their own doing, or due to an external factor that they had no control over. External Locus of Control credits “fate” and “luck” as a way to view positive or negative outcomes that have happened in your life. Internal Locus of Control credits one owns hard work or behavior as a way to understand the positive or negative outcomes..

My Locus of Control. After participating in the assessment, I scored an Internal locus of control (moderate) I see my future being in my own hands I engage in activities that improve my situation My locus of control can vary in different situations (at home or at work) Make me more acceptable to situations I can not influence.
Scene 5 (1m 12s)
Am I in Agreement?. I would like to say that I agree with my Locus of Control score. Growing up I have always said that I have a very realistic mindset, letting me be able to see my own or others wrongdoings or choices that could have led to a certain outcome I also do actively make changes or choices in my life to better improve myself and situation (ex: working more, eating better) I do indeed try not to stress over things that I can not control, though at times it is hard. This can explain why my Locus of Control is moderate and not strong..
Scene 6 (1m 39s)
How Can my LOC Influence Conversations?. I try to stay realistic and down to earth which can offer a good perspective to others situations and decision making. I have always tried to push people to work harder . I can also be a great motivating friend, that brings achievable ideas into someone mind in order to help improve their life..
Scene 7 (1m 56s)
Potential Barriers with the Opposite LOC. Not being able to see eye to eye With others, I can see myself being not in agreement with the way they can view their situation. I can admit that others could take my advice as me being not so understanding about certain aspects of their life that contribute to their decision such as “not being the right time”.
Scene 8 (2m 15s)
In Conclusion. I am in agreement with my score on the Locus of Control. I believe that it can not only help myself but others understand certain outcomes in life by providing a realistic perspective on actions that can be made in order to improve a situation or lifestyle. I can also understand the opposite spectrum of the Locus of Control, and how others can be very much in touch spiritually with the world around them and can use that to determine the reasonings behind outcomes..
