Learning Objectives: 3d, 4a, and 4b

Anger and Anger Management

Step 1:  Click on and complete the Anger Management Test by answering and scoring the questions.

Step 2:  Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Anger test you completed:

· Explain your results.

· Describe the ways in which you tend to express anger.  Integrate at least *two* concepts from the assigned readings.

· Discuss at least *three* effective coping strategies you either implement or plan to implement when you experience a high level of anger (anger reactive response) or avoid experiencing anger, even when anger is warranted (anger avoidant response).

Internal or External Locus of Control

In 1984, Julian Rotter set forth his Expectancy Theory, which suggests that learning creates thoughts or “expectancies” that guide our behavior.  Furthermore, our “expectancies” are also influenced by how rewards and punishments are controlled.

If you believe that expectancies are controlled by your own efforts, then you have an  internal  locus of control.  In other words, your own effort controls the outcome of a situation. “I did well because I studied hard” reflects an internal locus of control.

If you tend to believe that rewards or punishments are controlled by factors external of you, such as luck, then you are demonstrating an  external  locus of control. In other words, you attribute outcomes to situations from which you have no control. “I did well because I got lucky” reflects an external locus of control.

You can have a combination of both, especially in different situations.  However, our thinking tends to be dominated by one or the other.

Step 3:  Click on and complete the Locus of Control Test.

You will see a prompt to allow “Scripted Windows,” which you can temporarily allow. Scores range from 0 – 13.  A high score indicates an external locus of control, and a low score indicates an internal locus of control.

Alternate Scoring Method:  If your test did not score your responses, it will display “NaN” in the area that should display your score.  If this occurs, you can either launch a different web browser and copy/paste the url for the test and take the test, or you can determine whether each question you selected reflects an internal or external locus of control.  Then, you could count your responses to determine if you predominately have an internal or external locus of control.

Step 4:  Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Locus of Control test you completed:

· Explain your results, including if you have an internal or an external locus of control.

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of an internal locus of control?

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of an external locus of control?

· Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an internal locus of control.

· Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an external locus of control.

 

 

 

Lpcus of control test results

1.

Many of the unhappy things in people’s lives are partly due to bad luck

People’s misfortunes result from the mistakes they make.

 

2.

One of the major reasons why we have wars is because people don’t take enough interest in politics.

There will always be wars, no matter how hard people try to prevent them.

 

 

3.

In the long run, people get the respect they deserve in this world.

Unfortunately, an individual’s worth often passes unrecognized no matter how hard he tries.

The idea that teachers are unfair to students is nonsense.

Most students don’t realize the extent to which their grades are influenced by accidental happenings.

Without the right breaks, one cannot be an effective leader.

Capable people who fail to became leaders have not taken advantage of their opportunities.

I have often found that what is going to happen will happen.

Trusting to fate has never turned out as well for me as making a decision to take a definite course of action.

 

8.

In the case of the well prepared student, there is rarely, if ever, such a thing as an unfair test.

Many times exam questions tend to be so unrelated to course work that studying is really useless.

 

9.

Becoming a success is a matter of hard work; luck has little or nothing to do with it.

Getting a good job depends mainly on being in the right place at the right time.

The average citizen can have an influence in government decisions.

This world is run by the few people in power, and there is not much the little guy can do about it.

When I make plans, I am almost certain that I can make them work.

It is not always wise to plan too far ahead because many things turn out to be a matter of luck anyway.

 

12.

In my case, getting what I want has little or nothing to do with luck.

Many times we might just as well decide what to do by flipping a coin.

Sometimes I feel that I don’t have enough control over the direction my life is taking.
