Investigation of the influence of the locus of control, self-esteem and self-esteem on the behavior of students

Abstract

The purpose of our study is to study the infl uence of locus control on the behavior of students of railway technical schools and to study the possible intermediary role of self-esteem and self-esteem of students. A total of 220 fi rst-year students and 210 fourth-year students completed the USC personality questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Self-esteem scale, and the Coping Behavior in Stressful Situations questionnaire. The analysis showed that the external locus of control, reduced self-esteem and self-esteem suggests a violent emotional reaction to situations. At the same time, students with an internal locus of control and adequate sel f-esteem have a behavior strategy aimed at rational problem solving without being distracted by emotions. These results show that it is necessary to pay closer attention to the formation of the internal locus of control among students of railway technical schools, as this is directly related to their future professional activities.
