?Give a specific example that shows how locus of control impacts an individual's experience with stress.
What will be an ideal response?
?Student examples will vary. Locus of control (LOC) refers to the extent to which we believe that we control events that affect us. People with an internal locus of controlsee themselves as responsible for the outcomes of their own actions. People with an external locus of controlbelieve that whatever happens to them is unrelated to their own behavior-making it beyond their control. People with a tendency to think from an internal LOC perspective are more likely to take responsibility and believe they can influence what happens to them. Moving toward this style of thinking positively affects one's ability to reduce the stress in one's life.
