Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Locus of control refers to whether the cause of behavior is internal (something about the person) or external (something about the circumstances). Stability, on the other hand, refers to whether the cause of behavior is likely to persist over time or is temporary. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because intentionality does not refer to stability. Option C is incorrect because stability comes after locus of control in the question, and option D is incorrect because intentionality does not come up in the question.
