In Choice Theory, which statement reflects the main principle?

• A. The only behavior I control is my own
• B. The environment controls me
• C. I have no control
• D. I control others' behavior

Answer: (A)

Choice Theory emphasizes that people have control only over their own behavior. We can’t directly control other people or the environment; we choose how we respond, what actions we take, and the attitudes we hold to meet our needs. That makes the statement “The only behavior I control is my own” the most accurate reflection of the principle, because it centers personal responsibility and acknowledges the limits of influence over others or external conditions. The other options describe external control or no control at all, which conflicts with the idea of intentional action and self-regulation that Choice Theory promotes.
