The doctrine of the internality of relations gives an affirmative answer to both these questions.

Internality: The belief that one's successes are due to internal causes rather than to situational variables.

Rotter (1975) cautioned that internality and externality represent two ends of a continuum, not an either/or typology.

Starr's longstanding interest in the exploration of internality through the products of popular culture has been chided in the past.

Correlations were computed between internality and symptom measures, but did not sustain the idea that attributions predicted symptom variance.

Longitudinal data collected by Gatz and Karel (cited in Johnson et al., 2004) imply that internality may increase until middle age, decreasing thereafter.

She presents the gut as a tube that, for all its apparent internality, lies "outside of our bodies," in the words of the neurogastroenterologist Michael Gerson.

(It should not be thought however, that internality is linked exclusively with attribution to effort and externality with attribution to luck, as Weiner's work (see below) makes clear).

His doctrine on this point was that no relation is entirely irrelevant to the natures of the terms it relates, such relevance (and therefore "internality") being a matter of degree.

Indeed, there is evidence here that changes in locus of control in later life relate more visibly to increased externality (rather than reduced internality) if the two concepts are taken to be orthogonal.

Classical Economics discourages government from creating legislation that targets internalities, because it is assumed that the consumer takes these personal costs into account when paying for the good that causes the internality.

He maintained, with longtime friend and philosophical colleague A.C. Ewing, that the doctrine would have caught on far better had it been more accurately described in terms of "relevance" rather than of "internality".

His disciples testify that "the Rabash believed that any person, man or woman, and even the youngest child can study the internality of the Torah, if they only wish to complete the correction of their souls".

It emphasizes the dimensions of stability and globality rather than internality, holding that attributions of one's failures to stable and global causes, rather than to internal causes, is associated with hopelessness depression.

Norman and Bennett note that some studies that compared alcoholics with non-alcoholics suggest alcoholism is linked to increased externality for health locus of control; however, other studies have linked alcoholism with increased internality.

An internality is a term, introduced in 1993 and used in behavioral economics to describe those types of behaviors that impose costs on a person in the long-run that are not taken into account when making decisions in the present.

It lists six positive and negative events ("you have been looking for a job unsuccessfully for some time"), and asks the respondents to record a possible cause for the event and rate the internality, stability, and globality of the event.

The principle of independence in monist reasoning is usually coupled with an attempt to interpret relations as a sub-class of properties and expressive of certain purely internal features of their terms, or what is sometimes referred to as the doctrine of the "internality of relations".

Although there have been philosophers - Leibniz is an obvious example - who have tried to reconcile this view with the idea of a pluralist ontology, it is clear that if conjoined with the principle of independence the doctrine of the internality of relations provides a powerful support for the monist thesis.

In other words, the doctrine of the internality of relations together with the thesis of the independence of substance seems logically to lead to the position of ontological monism; conversely, the monist thesis seems necessarily to presuppose the thesis of the internality of relations.
