Internal verbalizations are to REBT as ________ are to Glasser's choice theory.

• A. Bodily sensations
• B. Dreams
• C. Pictures in your mind
• D. Behavioral observations

Answer: (D)

REBT focuses on how our internal self-talk shapes emotions and behavior. The therapy targets the private verbalizations we tell ourselves in the moment—the thoughts driving our emotional reactions and irrational beliefs—and works to dispute and change them. Glasser's choice theory (Reality Therapy) centers on what can be observed and influenced in real life: observable behavior. Thoughts and feelings are private, but the actions we can see and evaluate are the focus for choosing more effective ways to meet needs. So, the parallel is that internal verbalizations in REBT correspond to behavioral observations in Glasser's theory—the visible actions and behaviors we can observe and work with. Private experiences like bodily sensations, dreams, or pictures in the mind are not the focus because they’re not readily observable in this framework.
