    Domain-specific locus of control better predicts coping strategies than generalized beliefs, especially in older adults. Age and context significantly influence how controllability perceptions relate to self-blame coping.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Locus of control (LOC) and coping strategies are crucial for psychological well-being.
    • Generalized LOC may not fully capture context-specific coping behaviors.
    • Age-related differences in perception and coping are well-documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between generalized and domain-specific locus of control and coping strategies.
    • To examine how age differences moderate these relationships across different contexts (relationship and achievement).

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study involving participants from adolescence to older adulthood.
    • Utilized measures of generalized and domain-specific locus of control (controllability).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessed coping strategies, including self-blame, within relationship and achievement contexts.

    • Main Results:

    • Older adults perceived stressors as less controllable in specific domains compared to other age groups.
    • Domain-specific LOC measures were stronger predictors of coping strategies than generalized LOC.
    • Domain-specific attributions most strongly predicted self-blame, with age and context as moderators.

    Conclusions:

    • Domain-specific locus of control is more relevant for understanding coping mechanisms than generalized beliefs.
    • Age and the specific context of the stressor significantly influence the link between controllability perceptions and self-blame.
