Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of self-affecting behavior?

Self-affecting behavior refers to physical and emotional responses that individuals exhibit, often in high-stress situations, which can reflect their internal state. These behaviors typically include physiological changes like rapid breathing, changes in facial coloration (such as a red face), and body language that conveys defensiveness or tension, such as closed posture.

Making threats, however, is more of an external action that may involve aggression or intimidation toward others rather than a reaction that indicates self-affecting behavior. It does not reflect the individual's internal emotional state in the same way that rapid breathing, a red face, or closed posture do. Instead, making threats is a behavior aimed at influencing or intimidating another person, which differentiates it from the personal, internal reactions characteristic of self-affecting behavior.
