How is Rotter's concept of locus of control similar to Bandura's concept of self-efficacy? How is it different?
What will be an ideal response?
Locus of control, the concept that we either believe that we can or cannot control our own behaviors, is different from self-efficacy in that self-efficacy is much more specific to a particular behavior. Locus of control, on the other hand, is much more general and indeed, can generalize over many situations. But both are similar in that both consider beliefs about how much we can control events in our lives.
