Prior research has further indicated an association between students who are at high risk for failure and who exhibit an external locus of control (Dille & Mezack, 1991) and also a relationship between students who earn higher grades and who are characterized by an internal locus of control (Wang & Newlin, 2000). For the behavioral change of obtaining extra food, gas, or supplies and experiencing emotional disturbances, such as repeated, disturbing memories, thoughts, or dreams; having difficulty concentrating; and trouble falling asleep, students who showed internal locus of control were less likely to experience those changes than those who showed external locus of control. In contrast, people with an external locus of control sense that fate, in the form of chance events outside their control, or powerful people, has a dominating influence over their lives (Chell and Colleagues, 1991). |
