Question:

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

Options:

Observation of own behaviour

Self reinforcement

Self instruction

Self actualisation

Correct Answer:

Self actualisation

Explanation:

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.
