Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: American culture traditionally prizes self-reliance and individualism, whereas Asian culture emphasizes collectivism, community reliance, and interdependence. A large-scale comparison of 18 cultures confirmed that people in collectivist cultures such as China scored higher in external control than those in Westernized countries who placed a greater value on having an internal locus of control (Cheng, Cheung, Chio, & Chan, 2013).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: A comparison of adolescent Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and African-American teenagers found that having a more internal locus of control was considered to be more important for the Caucasians but less so for the other groups (Kang, Chang, Chen, & Greenberger, 2015). Research on Hispanic immigrants to the United States showed that those with a higher internal locus of control were more effective in adapting to the demands of their new culture and in dealing with the effects of discrimination or being marginalized (Llamas & Consoli, 2014).
