Answer to Question 1

B
Locus of control pertains to one's perception of environmental control or influence over the environment. An individual with an internal locus of control is geared toward goal setting, taking control of one's life, and not requiring assistance for decision making. Individuals with an external locus of control may wait for others or believe that luck or fate determine what will happen. Time orientation also contributes to how an individual or group behaves in a given situation. Individuals with a present-oriented culture focus mainly on day-to-day events. Individuals with a future-oriented culture focus mainly on future events and prepare diligently for a potential problem, whereas past-oriented cultures focus primarily on their tradition and the maintenance of that tradition.
