Psychological control is a core self-evaluation (Judge e al., 2003) with a long research tradition. It is basic for processes of action, learning, development, adaptation, success, well-being, and even health recovery (for an overview, see Skinner, 1996). Internationally renowned as, e.g., Rotter’s locus of control (1966) and Bandura’s self-efficacy (1977), the construct or parts of it have been applied all over the world and with increasing attention.

It is basic for processes of action, learning, development, adaptation, success, well-being, and even health recovery (for an overview, see Skinner, 1996). Internationally renowned as, e.g., Rotter’s locus of control (1966) and Bandura’s self-efficacy (1977), the construct or parts of it have been applied all over the world and with increasing attention.
