Locus of control names the degree to which people believe outcomes follow from their own actions rather than outside forces. The label was set out by Rotter (1966) in Psychological Monographs: General and Applied, measured by Rotter's internal-external control scale. It overlaps with the other labels on this page (Core self-evaluations, Self-esteem, Generalized self-efficacy), which describe much the same construct under different names.[4]
