According to rotter, those who attribute the cause of events to external reasons have a high internal locus of control while those that attribute the cause of events to internal reasons have a high external locus of control.

Answer

The correct answer is false.

Explanation

The locus test of control helps in determining whether the result of our actions that we do is contingent to the activities that we are engaged in or whether the events which are outside our personal control is responsible for the results. Thus the locus test of control helps in determining what forces are responsible for our failures or success.

Further Explanation

Julian Rotter, a psychologist in the year of 1954 suggested that our actions and behavior were determined by the rewards or the consequences of the actions and thus our belief of what causes our actions influences our attitudes and behavior. Further progress in the directions saw the publication of a scale in the year 1966 which was designed to asses and measure internal and external locus of control.

The test thus determines the characteristics of the people on the basis of the two types of the locus of control – Internal and External. People are recognized to have either the dominant characteristics of the external locus of control or internal locus of control which is determined by the test.  

Those who have internal locus of control are characterized to be more responsible for their actions and less influenced by the opinion of others. They are often better at their tasks as they have the strong sense of self efficacy and they tend to work harder. They are confident to take risk and bring the required change. On the other hand those are characterized with the characteristics of the external locus of control blame others for their situations and circumstances and credit luck for their success. Thus they feel helpless about their situations and are frequently helpless and sad.
