In Internal Health Locus of Control sub-scale, optimists had significantly higher scores then pessimists. The results of the MANOVA employed to the HLC scores of those who do physical exercise yielded that those who were more active in doing physical exercise had lower scores in Fate Health Locus of Control sub-scale as compared to those who were less active in doing exercises.
