THE ONTOGENETIC ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LOCUS OF CONTROL AND MOTIVATION
The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between motivation and the properties of the locus of control at different age stages (9, 15, 20 years). Motivation and the property of the locus of control are considered as two important factors in determining activity and behavior. It is established that during ontogenesis, the parameters of motivation and the property of the locus of control undergo changes. The formation of motivation is carried out mainly in the direction of increasing its intensity. In addition, the prevailing cognitive motives of younger schoolchildren are replaced by broad cognitive ones in adolescents and students. Both the content and dynamic aspects of motivation are changing. The development of the locus of control is carried out from the predominance of the external type in younger schoolchildren to the internal type of control in adolescents and the relatively parity representation of these two types in 20-year-old subjects. Motivation and the locus of control develop sufficiently independently of each other. Their relative autonomy becomes more pronounced with age: the more mature a person is, the more independent these factors are. There is also an interaction of these factors, which is in the nature of coordination, coordination. With age, two-way relationships of motivation and locus of control are formed. These factors interact in different ways at different age stages.
