Answer:

External locus of control

Explanation:

In psychology, locus of control refers to the person's belief that they have control over the external outcomes of the things they do.

  • When a person has an internal locus of control, the person thinks he can influence and has control over what happens to him/her.
  • On the other hand, when a person has an external locus of control, the person thinks that external forces control what happens in their life.

In this example, Tim receives an A but when he's asked how we did it, he replies he was just lucky, in other words, he doesn't think that his actions had anything to do with his results, therefore, he thinks that the A was a result of external forces (being lucky). Therefore, we can see that he has an external locus of control.

Answer: EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL

Explanation: Locus of control in social science refers to the dimension to which an individual believes that they have control over events or outcomes in their lives.

an external locus of control refers to an event whereby an individual believes that the events of their lives occurs as a result of outside forces such as explained by Tim, "LUCK" which is an external force.

An individual with an internal locus of control tends to believe that the events of their lives occurs as a result of their own actions.

of all the options, the external locus of control is the most plausible.
