Which of the following will be the most constructive way of behaving if you are stuck in a vicious cycle of negative self-concept leading to negative actions and vice versa?

A) Trying to analyze who started the cycle
B) Establishing an external locus of control
C) Examining ways to stop the cycle
D) Providing conditional positive regard

The most constructive way to behave in this situation would be to examine ways to stop the cycle. This could involve identifying triggers for negative self-concept or negative actions, developing coping strategies, seeking support from others, and actively working to break the cycle. Analyzing who started the cycle or providing conditional positive regard may not be helpful in addressing the root causes of the negative cycle, while establishing an external locus of control may not empower individuals to take agency in changing their behaviors and self-concept.
