Locus of Control and the Voting Booth

Psych Segments

The Locus of Control Theory of Motivation is a simple one – either you believe you can cause things to change, or you don’t. And depending on your belief, you are going to either be motivated at a high or low level. This is especially important to understand right now, as midterm elections are fast approaching. Want to know why some people vote and others don’t, and why you should? Look no further than your locus of control.
