In today's (May 14, 2004) there's an interesting article by Anahad O'Connor on the bottom of page A 11 (front page section). Behavior psychologists have noted that the enlisted personnel who refused to take part in the abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison were most likely of the "I" personality type. Those who said "no" to beating prisoners and other forms of humiliation had what "psychologists call internal locus of control, or the ability to determine one's own destiny." Sounds like those self-determining refusniks and whistleblowers are good candidates for ER since the "IN" type dominates.
The article goes on to say "people at the other end of the scale, with external locus of control, are more heavily influenced by authority figures. They prefer to put their fate in the hands of others." Saps.
