Individuals who have a high external locus of control believe that chance,fate,or other people primarily determine what happens to them.

Individuals with a high external locus of control tend to believe that external factors, such as chance, fate, or other people, have a greater influence on their lives than their own actions or decisions. This is in contrast to individuals with a high internal locus of control, who believe that their own actions and decisions play a larger role in determining their outcomes.
