It concludes that Connie has an external locus of control. It is where an individual has the belief that the results of what is going to happen to them is base on external factors which are beyond to their control. It is likely depends on their success and failures with the given circumstances that they are to face. It could be seen above as Connie thinks that she's going to have a low grade, given even if she study or not because of the beliefs that she has acquired.
