Self-perception theory argues that we infer our attitudes by observing our own behavior and the circumstances under which it occurs when our attitudes are weak or ambiguous. This means that we deduce our attitudes in the same way an outside observer would. The other options, cognitive dissonance theory, the overjustification effect, and game theory, do not directly relate to the process of inferring attitudes through behavior observation.
