Although people with an external locus of control feel that fate and luck play a large role in their lives, people with an internal locus of control believe that they control their destinies. A strong superego is associated with being concerned with morals and ethics. People with low self-esteem have negative thoughts about themselves. People with low self-efficacy doubt their ability to get things done.<\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><\/p>\n<h3><strong>AP Psychology Free Practice Question #3<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vance\u2019s therapist believes Vance is psychotic.

L-Dopa is used to treat Parkinson\u2019s disease and would likely have an adverse effect on Vance since it would lead to an increase in dopamine and an excess of dopamine is a hypothesized cause of schizophrenia. Benzodiazepines are commonly used to treat anxiety.
