The Relationship

In order to more fully understand the relationship between paranormal belief, locus of control, and sensation seeking, 81 undergraduate university students were administered the Paranormal Belief Scale (PBS), Rotter's Locus of Control Scale, and the Sensation Seeking Scale. Results indicated that a greater external locus of control was associated with greater overall number of paranormal beliefs. Greater external locus of control was especially associated with the PBS subscales of spirituality and precognition. Contrary to expectations, belief in superstition was associated with a greater internal locus of control. Whereas overall sensation seeking was not related to overall PBS scores, the PBS subscales of greater belief in psi phenomena and superstition were found to be associated with higher levels of sensation seeking. Results are discussed in relation to conceptualizations of the different personality/belief constructs.

Time Budget Pressure

This study aims to examine the effect of time budget pressure and locus of control on the dysfunctional audit behavior and to see whether the locus of control can moderate the relationship between time budget pressure and the dysfunctional audit behavior. Questionnaires are distributed to 201 auditor who act as respondents, but only 146 questionnaire thatcan be processed from 51 KAP in Jakarta. Data analysis is conducted using SmartPLS 3.0 program.The results showed that, partially, time budget pressure variable and external locus of control give significant influence to dysfunctional audit behavior while internal locus of control does not affect dysfunctional audit behavior. The external and internal variables of the locus of control are not able to moderate the time budget pressure relationship to the dysfunctional audit behavior. Another finding in the form of sensitivity analysis suggests that male respondents consider that time budget pressure and external locus of control are factors that encourage them to perform dysfunctional audit behavior while time budget pressure does not encourage female respondents to perform dysfunctional audit behaviors.

SYNOPSISForty patients on chronic haemodialysis were studied in order to gather information about the relationship of locus of control and adjustment. Negative correlations of high statistical significance were found between locus of control and compliance with the diet, and locus of control and vocational rehabilitation, as well as between locus of control and acceptance of disability. All the findings indicate that patients with internal locus of control adjust and adapt better than those with external locus of control. The number of years on dialysis did not correlate with locus of control. It might be suggested that the shift from internal to external locus of control occurs prior to dialysis in the stage of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract: This study aimed to determine a possible link between parenting parents with a predisposition locus of control teens SLTP 8 Manado. The purpose of this paper is to obtain information through empirical data, the relationship of each parenting parents (permissive, authoritharian, authoritative, neglectful) with locus of control teens and get an idea of the locus of control teens SLTP 8 Manado and get an overview of locus of control SLTP 8 Manado. Locus of control is a belief in everyday life. Locus of control one often seen on the way we discript sense of causality that is relatively consistent. Various studies have shown that those who have a tendency internal locus of control are more successful pay attention, more selective towards stimulus, as well as more selective about the task, rather than those who tend to be external, individuals with a tendency external locus of control tend to have confidence. Thus the tendency of individuals with an internal locus of control more have more positive aspects in comparison with the external.Keywords: parents, teenagers, locus of controlAbstrak: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemungkinan adanya hubungan antara pola asuh orang tua dengan kecenderungan locus of control remaja SLTP Negeri 8 Manado.

Abstract. Locus of control is one of the personality characteristics possessed by humans. Locus of control can be divided into two, namely internal locus of control and external locus of control. Locus of control is a predictor of several other variables, such as learning achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of locus of control with learning achievement. This research uses descriptive and correlational methods. The instrument filling is done online by using the google form application considering the increasing spread of COVID-19. Finally, as many as 36 students participated in filling this instrument. In this study, researchers used the Rotters Internal-External Locus of Control (IE Scale) inventory consisting of 29 items, of which there were 6 filler items, so that the total number of items that could be processed was 23 items, while to see learning achievement using the Grade Point Average (GPA) that researchers get from the Academic Information System (SIAKAD). Research findings show that locus of control has a strong negative relationship with student learning achievement. We advise students to have an internal locus of control while continuing to believe in God; The counselor is expected to be able to arrange an intervention program for students who have an external locus of control and have low learning achievement.

The Relationship

We examined the influence of locus of control on the relationship between social exclusion and preference for distinctive choices. Participants were 212 undergraduate students at a university in Central China, who completed measures of social exclusion, locus of control, choice, and perceived uniqueness. Results showed that participants who believed that the environment controlled their fate (external locus of control) preferred more distinctive choices in a social exclusion context than in a social inclusion context, whereas participants who believed that they could control the environment (internal locus of control) preferred less distinctive choices. Further, perceived uniqueness mediated the effect of social exclusion and locus of control on choice. These results add to the literature on social exclusion and personal control.
