Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, Walden University (Department of Psychology), language: English, abstract: This paper will provide an integrated review of literature. Common themes and different views about the topic 'Locus Control - Community and Individuality' will be compared based on narrative theory views of different authors. It will be analysed what they have to say about an individual's problem-solving skills, critical thinking through self-identity, altruism, and recognition of environmental influences through the act of using locus of control individually and within community. Learn-oriented situations are created for the purpose of learning strategies to guide learners in the achievement of internal locus of control and external locus of control. Social research requires the analyzation of community and qualitative or quantitative methods to develop transformative social change. When comparing different authors beliefs, there are some similarities, but they differ along a continuum of factors. These factors range from the use of technology to simplistic strategies derived from learned precepts and concepts of interaction, that are learned through environmental and role stimulation or acquired through parental and social interactions. Such known causes of effects influence or alter how individuals view relationships in community and if they are drawn to receive their potential from external influences (External Locus Control) or from their own concrete view of life from their inward persona in order to make sound and just decisions (Internal Locus Control). Locus control is vital for how a person develops further throughout life. It is just as pertinent to consider that both external locus control and internal locus control are needed at different stages in life to strengthen community and individuality.
