Social Psychology - Obedience

Autonomous State:
Our behaviour is voluntary and we are aware of our own actions and their consequences

Agentic State:
We see ourselves as acting on someone else’s behalf and are therefore less likely to feel guilt about our behaviour


Locus of Control
External – Feel things are beyond their control. They tend to be insecure and less confident
Internal – Feel they are in control of their own circumstances. They tend to be confident and have a positive outlook.
