Rotter's loci of control scale

Rotter's locus of control scale is a psychological tool that measures whether individuals believe they have control over events in their lives. People with an internal locus of control feel they can influence outcomes through their actions and decisions. Those with an external locus of control think that outside forces, such as luck or other people, primarily dictate what happens. This scale helps understand how a person perceives their role in life events, which can impact motivation, behavior, and response to challenges. It's a useful way to explore attitudes about personal responsibility and control.
