A strength of free will ?

-Free can have a positive impact on ppl in society -Roberts et al looked at adolescents that had a strong belief in fatalism (fate and destiny control lives). -Found they were at a greater risk of developing depression compared to people who don't believe in fatalism as they can be seen to exhibit an internal locs of control rather than a extermanl locus of control where they are likley to be more optimistic. -Seen as a support of free will shows how an individual's thoughts and the control that they ahve over thier thoughts can impact thier lives and their behavioural outcoemes, not determined by genetics.
