Aging Science: Locus of Control and the Shibboleth Lens

Clayton Roy Mullen

This summary paper focuses upon personal locus of control (LOC) orientation and control beliefs in relation with the science of aging, environment, and decision-making in the context of the shibboleth construct. An original dissertation and peer-reviewed paper derivative of the dissertation explored advancement intention in Canadian power engineering. LOC operated as an independent variable (IV) in both the dissertation and the peer-reviewed paper. This summary serves to encourage future research in the area of LOC orientation related to selected aspects of aging, experience, and decision-making.
