<p>Very interesting! </p>

<p>on a very basic level, you'd want to start in exploring reward mechanisms- according to the stimuli, there would be a planned reaction associated to the stimuli conditioned over time. i don't see locus of control as a perrsonal characteristic inherent to the inner-workings of one's thought on selfhood, but rather as a trained pattern which becomes structurally hard-wired. a google scholar search on this looks at locus of control and attribution in relation to access to academia here: <a href="http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11218-012-9184-4#page-1" rel="nofollow">http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11218-012-9184-4#page-1</a></p>

<p>the article seems to look at an ok sample-size - all from 1 u.s. southern university :/ </p>

<p>i wonder if by entitlement you are referring to class??</p>

Hi Nanja, Thank you for your reply. Actually I've get a lot of work done on my assignment last night. By entitlement I'm referring exactly to the psychological understanding of entitlement - Psychological entitlement refers to a stable, pervasive tendency to see oneself as more deserving than others (Campbell, Bonacci, Shelton, Exline, & Bushman, 2004). If you are anyhow interested in the subject I CAn send you the articles I've got on it.
