Locus Of Control | Psychology | Chegg Tutors

A locus of control is a person's belief about how much power one has over the events in one's life. According to psychologist Julian Rotter, who formulated the concept in the 1950s, the locus of control is a dimension of personality; it helps explain one's traits and behavior. An internal locus of control is the belief that the course of one's life is largely up to oneself. Those with an external locus of control regard the events in their lives as occurring regardless of their own efforts. People who have an internal locus of control tend to be less influenced by others, more politically active, and more motivated to achieve. Many researchers believe an internal locus of control is more healthful than an external one.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
While I am most definitely still a student, I've had a lot of experiences that I'd love to use to help anyone who needs it. In the past, I've best helped students with writing, editing, and brainstorming their essays, solving math problems, and studying for their various standardized tests. I'm patient, and eager to help, but I won't hand you a result :). Rather, I'll work with you, because I think the process of reaching an answer is super important, and it'll help you know what to do in the future when the same problem arises.
EXTRACURRICULAR INTERESTS
I'm an enthusiastic creative student, who writes music and poetry as often as inspiration creeps by. I study hard, and recently, the library has become my second home. I'm majoring in Psychology with a minor in Behavioral Neuroscience. I'm about to start working as a laboratory assistant in one of the research labs on campus, finding conclusions to questions my professors choose to ask. I'm so excited to learn more every semester, and truly grasp what it means to have a profession where stranger's disasters are put in your hands to "fix". Thanks for stopping by :)- Michelle
