Locus of Evaluation in psychology refers to the source from which individuals draw their judgments about themselves and their actions. This concept is particularly prominent in humanistic psychology and is closely associated with the work of Carl Rogers, one of the founders of the humanistic approach. The locus of evaluation can be either internal or external. An internal locus of evaluation means that an individual evaluates themselves based on their own values, beliefs, and standards. In contrast, an external locus of evaluation implies that an individual's self-assessment is heavily influenced by external factors, such as the opinions, expectations, or standards of others.
