question 10

professor passed every student in the class, and didnt get the internship because the manager didnt like him.
julian rotter would say that kim has
a low self - efficacy
b an internal locus of control
c an external locus of control
d a dependent personality
1 point

Explanation:

Julian Rotter's locus of control theory: An external locus of control means attributing outcomes to external factors (like test difficulty, professor's actions, manager's preference) rather than internal ones. Kim blames external factors (test too hard, professor passed all, manager didn't like him) for his outcomes, so he has an external locus of control. Option A (low self - efficacy) is about belief in one's ability, not attribution. Option B (internal locus) is attributing to self, which Kim doesn't do. Option D (dependent personality) is about relying on others, not attribution.

Answer:

C. an external locus of control
