The degree to which people believe they have control over the outcomes of events in their lives, ranging from internal to external.
From Latin 'locus' (place) + 'contra' (against) + 'rotulus' (roll). Concept developed by Julian Rotter in 1954.
Locus of control is about who you think is driving your life — you at the wheel (internal) or fate and luck (external)?
