A study has found that those with an external locus of control ​were positively correlated with ethical decision making, whereas those with an internal locus of control were negatively correlated.

This statement is false. Research has shown that individuals with an internal locus of control are more likely to make ethical decisions, as they believe that they have control over their actions and the consequences of those actions. Individuals with an external locus of control may view ethical decisions as being outside of their control, and therefore may not take responsibility for their actions.
