Which option shows the correct difference between self-responsibility and self-blame?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Self-responsibility leads to improvement while self-blame may only discourage
Self-responsibility focuses on recognising one’s part in a problem and deciding what can be done next. Self-blame attacks the person rather than analysing the behaviour; without a corrective plan, it may create shame and discouragement. B therefore gives the accurate distinction. Responsibility does include examining mistakes, so D is incorrect, and the other absolute statements are also false.
