Question

Kim believed he failed his math class because the test was too hard, passed his psychology class because the professor passed every student in the class, and didn’t get the internship because the manager didn’t like him. Julian Rotter would say that Kim has ________.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be, External Locus of Control.

Step-by-step explanation:

When people think that they have control over the outcomes of events in their lives, except the external forces which are beyond their control, they are exhibiting the Locus of control. There are two types of locus of control, External and Internal. In External Locus of Control, the person thinks that anything happening in his life is because of the external forces which are beyond his control, either good happening or bad.

So in this question, when Kim fails a test, when he passes a test, when he didn't get the internship, he blames every outcome on the external force.
