Background and Purpose: Basic motivational orientations and perceptions of one's level of control over life circumstances are known as locus of control. Metacognitions are deliberate attempts to regulate one's own cognitive processes, or knowledge of one's own cognitive processes. Locus of control and metacognitive beliefs are factors that may influence individuals' life orientation, including optimism and pessimism. This study aimed to determine the relationship between locus of control and metacognitive beliefs with life orientation (optimism, pessimism).
Methods: This descriptive and correlational study involved undergraduate students from Islamic Azad University, Tehran Province, in 2023. A total of 200 undergraduate students were selected through cluster random sampling. The participants completed the Life Orientation Test (Scheier & Carver, 1985), the Locus of Control Questionnaire (Rotter, 1987), and the Metacognitive Beliefs Questionnaire (Wells, 1997). Data were analyzed using correlation and regression methods with SPSS-25 software.
Results: The findings showed no significant correlation between life orientation and locus of control. Statistically, there was no meaningful relationship between these two variables. However, there was a correlation between life orientation and metacognitive beliefs. The direction of the relationship between life orientation and metacognitive beliefs was inverse.
Conclusion: This study indicated that while locus of control does not significantly relate to life orientation, metacognitive beliefs do have a relationship with life orientation. The inverse relationship suggests that higher levels of certain metacognitive beliefs may be associated with lower optimism or higher pessimism.
