Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeanna is reflecting on her own behavior, which falls under the category of self-reflection as a form of metacognition. Option A is incorrect because theory of mind refers to the ability to understand other people's thoughts and emotions. Option C is too broad and does not specifically address Jeanna's thinking about her own behavior. Option D is also too broad and vague, as a sense of self entails various aspects of a person's identity, whereas Jeanna is specifically thinking about her own actions.
