Self theories emphasize:

A) social forces.
B) levels of discrimination.
C) perceptions of self.
D) circumscribed opportunities.

Self theories emphasize the perceptions of self, including one's own beliefs, attitudes, and evaluations about their own abilities and traits. Social forces, levels of discrimination, and circumscribed opportunities are external factors that may influence an individual's self-perception, but self theories focus on the individual's internal perceptions.
