Further, it explored the cultural influences in this association and on subjects’ locus of control orientation. This study utilized multiple dimensions to define positive parenting and looked into subjects’ locus of control in different domains such as general luck-fate, politics, respect, academics, and leadership success. This study demonstrated that subjects who possess highly internal control belief perceived their parents exercising democratic parenting, parental reasoning, and parental monitoring. In addition, parental monitoring was found significantly correlated to internal control belief in domains of academic and leadership success while parental reasoning and democratic parenting were found significantly related to internal control belief in academics. No significant cultural influence on locus of control orientation was demonstrated in this study.enThesis
