      • Perceive their behaviour as being a result of external influences or luck
    • Internal
      • Takes responsibility for own fate and actions / YOU make things happen
      • Believe they have control over their behaviour + therefore take responsibility for the way they behave

      • Rotter proposes that people with an internal locus of control are less likely to conform or obey as they are better at resisting social pressure.
