What is a correct example of self-control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Replying calmly when angry
Self-control means pausing and managing an emotion or impulse before choosing how to respond. Replying calmly while angry does not deny the feeling; it prevents anger from directing harmful words or actions. A controlled response considers consequences and protects relationships. Speaking impulsively, satisfying every urge immediately, and deliberately breaking rules show poor regulation of behaviour rather than responsible self-control.
