The 1995 research of Schneewind suggests that "children in large single parent families headed by women are more likely to develop an external locus of control" [50] [51] Schultz and Schultz also claim that children in families where parents have been supportive and consistent in discipline develop internal locus of control.
Heider first introduced the concept of perceived 'locus of causality' to define the perception of one's environment. [2] For instance, an experience may be perceived as being caused by factors outside the person's control (external) or it may be perceived as the person's own doing (internal). These initial perceptions are called attributions. [2]
