How can someone's external locus of control affect their personality?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: People with an external locus of control are more likely to be anxious and depressed. They are also likely to have lower conscientiousness and self-control. External locus of control may be a response to negative life circumstances as well. People who have had bad experiences may give up and decide they cannot have an impact on their life outcomes. That makes them more vulnerable to poor academic performance, anxiety, and depression, creating a vicious cycle.
