The term "personal control" refers to the belief that an individual's actions and behaviors directly impact the outcome of a situation. This is different from the construct of "locus of control," which refers to whether an individual believes the outcome of a situation is within their control (internal locus of control) or outside of their control (external locus of control). The term "personal locus of control" is not commonly used in psychology, and "external locus of control" refers specifically to the belief that external factors (such as luck or chance) determine one's outcome in a situation.
