Research suggests people with an internal locus of control

(1) are more satisfied with work,
(2) outperform externals in stressful situations, and
(3) are less accurate in processing feedback about successes and failures than externals.

Which statements are correct?
A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
B) Statement 2 is incorrect.
C) Statement 2 and 3 are correct.
D) All of the statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct statements are 1 and 2: (1) people with an internal locus of control are more satisfied with work, and (2) they outperform externals in stressful situations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct choice is A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Statement 1 is correct because research suggests that people with an internal locus of control are more satisfied with their work. This is because they believe that their outcomes are the result of their own efforts and they have a sense of control over their work.

Statement 2 is also correct because research shows that people with an internal locus of control tend to outperform individuals with an external locus of control in stressful situations. This is because they have a belief in their ability to manage and overcome stressful events.

Statement 3 is incorrect. Research suggests that individuals with an internal locus of control are actually more accurate in processing feedback about successes and failures compared to individuals with an external locus of control. They take personal responsibility for their successes and failures and learn from them.
