Upon researching for my final major project which has now began I found out about a concept entitled 'Locus of Control'. I was very interested in the idea and it has become the most significant piece of research that has inspired the concept of my project.
The Locus of Control is essentially a questionnaire which puts you on a scale of whether you have a more internal locus or external locus. If you think that what happens to you is based upon your own actions then you have a more internal locus and if you think that what happens is out of your control then your locus is more external. I found this incredibly interesting, especially how you can be any where on a scale. Once you take the questionnaire, which can be found HERE, you are placed on the scale. Depending how high or low your score is determines how strong your external or internal locus is.
I linked this idea to my project concept as I was interested about how people think about their actions now and what they did in the past and how they sculpt their future. If their future isn't going how they would like then they may blame the actions they carried out in the past. I thought about how it may not even be their own actions that have sculpted their present or will help to sculpt their futures. This is how I found out about the Locus of Control.
