Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: The more contact Asians have with Americans, however, the more internally oriented they become. For example, Chinese residents of Hong Kong measured higher in external locus of control than did Americans of Chinese heritage, and Americans of Chinese heritage were more externally oriented than Americans of European heritage (Uba, 1994).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In general, Asians have been shown to be more externally oriented than Americans, a finding that may be explained in terms of different cultural beliefs. Therefore, for Asians, success is viewed more as a product of external than internal factors.
