Empirical/Peer Article 150-250 words
Much has been written on the self-perceived ability of individuals
to change the nature of their lives (Rotter, 1990; Judge & Bono, 2001).
While many psychologists interpret ideas such as “locus of control”
and “self-efficacy” as individually variable personality
characteristics, they may actually reflect worldviews of a nation, ethnic
group, or geographic community. How might these worldviews affect the
self-perceived ability of individuals to change the nature of their lives? How
should these worldviews be addressed or compensated for in the scholarly
research.
Here is some interesting website with additional information on
positive psychology
