At an outdoor festival, Talia says that what she does is usually decided by luck and by what other people do. When a large, united crowd starts waving flags, she joins in. Later, most people stop waving and leave, and the crowd becomes much smaller. A friend standing beside Talia puts their flag away.
Outline how Talia's response may change as the crowd becomes smaller, and how her locus of control and the changed crowd situation could explain this.
