本文概述并回顾了补偿性控制模型的证据，该模型旨在解释对个人和外部控制来源的动机信念。在此过程中，我们试图阐明意识形态的内容和力量，包括极端自由主义、民族主义、社会主义和宗教原教旨主义意识形态。我们认为，尽管这些意识形态的内容有所不同，但它们的共同作用是为人们提供一种对其他随机事件的控制感。我们认为，个人控制（例如自由主义）和外部控制（例如社会主义、宗教原教旨主义）的极端意识形态是满足普遍需要的最终手段，即相信事物总体上处于控制之下，即事件不会随机或偶然地展开。我们使用这个模型来解释个人和外部控制意识形态的采用和强度如何随着时间和社会文化背景而变化。
This article outlines and reviews evidence for a model of compensatory control designed to account for the motivated belief in personal and external sources of control. In doing so, we attempt to shed light on the content and strength of ideologies, including extreme libertarian, nationalist, socialist, and religious fundamentalist ideologies. We suggest that although these ideologies differ in their content they commonly function to provide people with a sense of control over otherwise random events. We propose that extreme ideologies of personal control (e.g., libertarianism) and external control (e.g., socialism, religious fundamentalism) are equifinal means of meeting a universal need to believe that things, in general, are under controlthat is, that events do not unfold randomly or haphazardly. We use this model to explain how the adoption and strength of ideologies of personal and external control may vary across temporal and sociocultural contexts.
