Question

Jason has three projects due next week. He is frustrated because everything is due at the same time and he doesn't believe it's possible to get all three projects finished. His solution is to forget about the projects and meet up with friends for a night out. Jason has

A. an external locus of control.
B. self-confidence.
C. self-efficacy.
D. an internal locus of control.

Answer 1

Jason has an external locus of control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's belief that his outcomes are outside of his control and that he should prioritize socializing over completing his projects indicates that he has an external locus of control. People with an external locus of control tend to believe that their outcomes are determined by external factors such as luck or other people, rather than their own efforts. This belief can lead to a lack of motivation and a tendency to avoid challenging tasks.
