Understand the concept of 'locus of control': It refers to the degree to which individuals believe they have control over the outcome of events in their lives, as opposed to external forces beyond their control.
Differentiate between 'internal' and 'external' locus of control: An internal locus of control means believing that one's own actions determine outcomes, while an external locus of control means believing that external factors, such as luck or fate, are responsible.
Analyze Manolo's belief: He attributes his potential success on the exam to 'good luck,' which is an external factor.
Relate Manolo's belief to the concept of locus of control: Since he believes that an external factor (luck) will determine his success, this aligns with an external locus of control.
Conclude that Manolo's belief is indicative of an external locus of control, as he does not attribute his success to his own efforts or abilities.
