        Doubt about self-determination                      AGREE DISAGREE
            

        1. There are few people I feel at ease with
        and I know that they will not cheat me 
 
        2. What ever happens to me, good things or
        bad things, I cannot influence it.

        3. If the odds are against me, I cannot 
        come out on top.

        4. Whatever occurs to me, I cannot 
        influence it. 

        5. I sometimes feel that I am not able to 
        control the direction my life is taking.

        6.  In this time the people have to 
        consider the today only, taking each day
        as it comes and not to worry about the 
        tomorrow

        7. I've had more than my share of 
        troubles.

        8. For me one day is no different from 
        another, yesterday is the same as today 
        and today is the same as tomorrow.

        9. The world is too complicated for me to 
        understand.

        10. I regret having missed so many chances
        in the past.

        11. It is not good to bear children in
        this place and at this time, because there
        are changes and they will not have a good 
        life.

        12. The future is uncertain and I am not 
        able to plan ahead.

        13. I find it difficult to have good 
        thoughts about anything at this time.

        14. There are no right or wrong ways to
        make money, but there are easy and hard 
        ways to make money.
