Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People who have a realistic understanding of what they can and cannot control in their life are more likely to have a sense of agency and personal control. This can lead to better mental health and well-being. Wealth and an external locus of control are not as strong predictors of happiness and health as having a realistic understanding of one's control over life circumstances. Resignation to fate is also not associated with positive outcomes.
