Solution

The hypothetical finding that would support the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between symptom severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and external locus of control would be: "More severe hyperarousal is associated with a stronger belief that the outcomes of events are due to luck, fate, or powerful others." This is because an external locus of control refers to the belief that outcomes are due to external factors such as luck, fate, or powerful others, rather than one's own actions. Therefore, if more severe symptoms of PTSD (such as hyperarousal) are associated with a stronger belief in these external factors, this would support the researcher's hypothesis.
