“…О значимости субъективной интерпретации стрессоров свидетельствует и обнаруженная в исследовании склонность пациентов с ХИ оценивать перенесенные значимые события как неконтролируемые и затянувшиеся. Эти особенности в интерпретации событий собственной жизни, по-види мому, отражают выявленный в исследовании пониженный уровень субъективного контроля, связанный с различными вариантами психологического неблагополучия [19].…”

“…LOC differences have varied outcomes. Externals may be at greater risk for depression and stress (Afifi, 2007;Griffin, 2014;Quevedo & Abella, 2014;Verme, 2009). Internals show greater goal progress and stronger performance as they believe effort drives the pursuit (Hortop et al, 2013;Kirkpatrick et al, 2008).…”

As the science of wellbeing has grown, universities have adopted the challenge of prioritizing the wellbeing of students. Positive psychology interventions (PPIs), activities designed to increase the frequency of positive emotions and experiences, which help to facilitate the use of actions and thoughts that lead to human flourishing, are being increasingly used worldwide. Known to boost wellbeing and a number of other variables, it nonetheless remains unknown whether their use can influence other variables in non-Western cultures. In this study, we determined the impact of PPIs on a variety of wellbeing outcomes. The 6-week PPI program was conducted in the United Arab Emirates on Emirati university students (n = 120) who reported more positive emotion and overall balance of feelings that favored positivity over time relative to a control group. Yet, there was no effect found on negative emotions, life satisfaction, perceived stress, fear of happiness, locus of control, or somatic symptoms, and no effect on levels of collectivism or individualism. Our findings nonetheless support the use of PPIs in higher education as they show an increase in the experience of positive emotion, with this in itself bringing positive life outcomes, and no negative impact on culture. Our findings serve to build a foundation for understanding for whom PPIs work best -and least -around the world.

“…Studies on these two concepts have revealed a positive relationship between strategy instruction and internal locus of control as predictors of successful language learning and acquisition (Arslan and Akin, 2014;Mesgar et al, 2014). LoC has been studied since the 1960s in connection with motivation (Kader, 2014;Schipor and Schipor, 2014), happiness (Marrero Quevedo and Carballeira Abella, 2014), hopelessness (Bagge et al, 2014), and academic achievement (Chalak et al, 2014;Sagone and Caroli, 2014). Although there has been some research related to LoC, metacognition and listening comprehension, the findings are not conclusive and require more studies.…”

This study investigated the effects of metacognitive listening strategy instruction (MLSI) and learners’ locus of control orientation on the listening comprehension of EFL learners. 100 EFL students at the University of Zanjan and Imam Khomeini International University of Qazvin were randomly chosen. The participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (N = 50) and a control group (N = 50). The experimental group received 10 weeks of treatment including 10 sessions of metacognitive listening strategy training. Both groups took the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire and Rotter’s Internal-External Locus of Control Scale before the treatment sessions. Then, they took the listening pre-test and after the treatment, the listening post-test was administered and the required data was obtained. The findings revealed that MLSI had a significant impact on the learners’ listening comprehension for the learners with internal LoC; However, external LoC did not have any significant moderating effect on listening comprehension ability. Pedagogical implications are suggested for an EFL teaching/learning context.
