Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Studies conducted in Africa found that native Africans, like American-born Blacks in general, scored higher in external locus of control than did American-born Whites (Okeke, Draguns, Sheku, & Allen, 1999). In the African nation of Botswana, Black male and female adolescents scored higher in external locus of control than did White adolescents in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: People apparently become more internally oriented as they grow older, reaching a peak in middle age. Also, a study of men and women in the United States, ages 60 to 75, found that their internal locus of control was significantly improved by cognitive training.
