question 25
jordan got in a car accident and blamed it all on his mom for making him hurry home and the other driver for not pressing on their brakes sooner. julian rotter would say that jordan has _.
a an internal locus of control
b low self - efficacy
c high self - efficacy
d an external locus of control

Explanation:

Locus of control refers to an individual's belief about the causes of events in their life. An external locus of control means a person believes events are caused by external factors (like other people, luck). Jordan blames his mom and the other driver (external factors), so he has an external locus of control. Self - efficacy (options B and C) is about a person's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations, which is not relevant here. An internal locus of control (option A) would mean Jordan blames himself (internal factors), but he doesn't.

Answer:

D. an external locus of control
