Which of the following is not a technique of self control?

The correct answer is Option (4) → Self actualisation

Self-control techniques are strategies individuals use to regulate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These include:

– Observation of own behaviour – Monitoring oneself to recognize patterns.
– Self reinforcement – Rewarding oneself for desirable behavior.
– Self instruction – Giving oneself directions or guidance to influence behavior.

Self actualisation, on the other hand, is not a technique but a goal or state in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It refers to the realization of one’s full potential and personal growth.
