    Now that is an interesting question. Would you be using sub-conscious as a verb (ie not presently in consciousness but an operational concept) or as a noun (as in Freudian-derived psychodynamic entity). Dependent.. two different directions might emerge. Not sure I'm capable of providing a meaningful answer regardless but we can try, perhaps with a little additional clarification.

    Locus of control

    A center of perceived responsibility for one's behavior. Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that they can control events related to their life, whereas those with an external locus of control tend to believe that real power resides in forces outside themselves and determines their life.
