Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: External control beliefs tend to increase with the number of siblings. Children in large single-parent families headed by women were found to be more likely to develop an external locus of control (Schneewind, 1995).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Evidence suggests that locus of control is learned in childhood and is directly related to parental behavior (Ahlin & Lobo Antunes, 2015). External control beliefs are likely to be expressed by children reared in homes without an adult male role model.
