[Mental health locus of control in refugees with clinically established psychopathology].

The present study attempts to examine the mental health locus of control (LOC) of refugees with clinically diagnosed psychopathology and to examine the possible association of LOC with the presentation of the psychopathology. LOC refers to the degree to which a person attributes what happens in their life to themselves or to external factors. It draws its theoretical background from Rotter's theory of social learning.
