Final answer:

External vs. Internal Locus of Control in Responses to Negative Outcomes


Explanation:

External Locus of Control: A person with an external locus of control believes that outcomes are determined by luck, fate, or external forces beyond their control.

When faced with a negative outcome, a response like 'This is just going to keep happening. The universe is against me.' would most likely represent someone with an external locus of control.

Contrastingly, individuals with an internal locus of control believe in personal efforts and characteristics influencing outcomes, leading to more proactive responses like 'I should have seen this coming. Next time I will make things happen differently.'
