Is There an Internal Locus of Control?

No characteristic that we think of is unabated good all the time, obviously. In my data, when I measure things that are conceptually siblings to locus of control like growth mindset or self-efficacy or optimism, I don't find negative correlations with good things. But it's really, really important to acknowledge that despite your best efforts or maybe despite your worst actions, that there's going to be a lot of countervailing activity from institutions or society and other people you can't control.
