The (in)stability of locus of control : new insights from distributional effects of major life events

Ha Trong Nguyen; Schurer, Stefanie; Mitrou, Francis - 2024

Earlier empirical evidence indicates that locus on control (LoC), a non-cognitive skill reflecting an individual's belief that life's outcomes result from their own efforts, is relatively unresponsive to major life events. This study re-examines this evidence by utilizing a longer panel dataset...
