Great suggestion, thank you. I may have to break it down into more than one video!

I believe it is external right now as I believed things happens to me. However, I am looking to gain internal locus of control so I can take control of my own life. I need stop believing things to me and keep polishing my skills to overcome any misfortune I go through. If my locus was never internal, it is about time make it internal.

What I find fascinating about Internal and External locus of control is the dynamic it has with religion. I feel like there could be an entire sub-ethical branch of thinking taught about this. Do we want "God to have a plan" or do we want to "be in charge of our own destinies?" Anyway, good video

I think you have just hit the paradox of religion spot on. In the absence of any way to know, I still go with an external locus of control. Thanks for your thought provoking comment.

Internal locus can be interpreted as what we ourselves can influence and control, Religion or god can be interpreted as the structure that influences the external locus or how we deal and see the world and things we can't control. both are required, as both are real forces

Thanks for the video, looking at improving my internal locus of control!

My understanding is that there is another dimension to it. That people with an external locus of control tend to think the whole environment around them need to be corrected when they feel any psychological discomfort. I guess, this can be deduced from what you said, but is that a stretch?

That's a good thought and thanks for commenting. I think this attitude can occur with people who have either locus of control, but it must be more potent with those with an external locus of control because they have fewer options to make changes. What you are describing may fall into the category of narcissism too.

I'm convinced that locus of control and locus of evaluation are 2 different things. I have an internal locus of control, but an external locus of evaluation (and want to change that).

@talk-works

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment. I agree that they are two different things. Locus of control is where your power lies and generally that is better to be internal. Locus of Evaluation is where the direction of your assessments come from and that is OK to be either (but led from internal). Often described as perceptual positions: 1st position "What is it like to be me?", 2nd position "What would it be like to be them?" and 3rd position "What would it be like to be an observer to this whole scene?" It's great to have free and flexible access to all three positions, but as my teacher always said: "1st position first!"

Is it possible to not believe in free will… but have an internal locus of control? Without having conflicts of beliefs?

@talk-works

Жыл бұрын

This is a fascinating question Josh which I will try to unpack. If you do not believe in free will then that implies that you have no choice or agency in your decisions. This is the ultimate example of an external locus of control so I don't see how it can co-exist with having an internal locus of control. Maybe you could retain the power to choose how you respond to the decisions of fate, which would be some kind of internal locus of interpretation. But that doesn't sound much like control to me. I wonder if this quote from Carl Jung is helpful: "Until the unconscious is made conscious it will direct your life, and you will call it fate" What do you think?

I think the big question is how to help someone fix an external locus

Hi Rachel, that's a good observation. I think psychotherapy is the process that helps people, and education about the locus of control is also a beneficial step for many people.

I really enjoyed your voice and your drawings! However I find it interesting that you depict the external locus as something negative and the internal locus as something positive! I personally think that it is important to be aware as you say of once unconscious preferences, and which possible ways we are apprehending life. Then to determine what are the situations, fields, moments in which we can make a difference, and what are the ones we may have little influence or none upon. There is as you say that space where you can do your best with how you react to things, often the first reaction is difficult to be mitigated, but there is that second moment where you may have more space on how you react and I think it is a very precious space indeed and I appreciate you bringing up the topic …..with kind greetings

Hi Noelle, thank you for your kind comment which makes a very good point and got me thinking. You are right that I have framed the internal locus of control as positive and the external locus of control as negative. I wonder if appreciating and accepting that there are some moments where we have little or no control is actually a manifestation of an internal locus of control? In reality, the only control we have is how we react to our circumstances. I like your statement of the preciousness of the space within which we can make that realisation. I am so glad that two minutes can be enough to start a process! Are there any other topics you would like me to make a video on?
