Self-control |
The answer is Self-control. Self-control is the ability to delay or defer gratification. In this case, Rahman was able to delay his gratification of eating junk food in order to achieve his long-term goal of losing weight and being healthier. The other options are not as accurate. Self-regulation is a broader term that encompasses more than just self-control. Self-observation is the act of monitoring one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Self-reinforcement is the act of rewarding oneself for positive behaviors. Therefore, the only correct answer is Self-control. |
