Ego dystonic behaviors are associated with what feeling towards the behavior?

  1. Guilt

  2. No guilt

  3. Indifference

  4. Pride

The correct answer is: Guilt

Ego dystonic behaviors are those that are inconsistent with one's ideal self-image. In other words, these behaviors go against one's personal beliefs and values. Therefore, it would be natural to feel guilty when engaging in these behaviors. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the definition of ego dystonic behaviors. Feeling no guilt, indifferent, or proud of these behaviors would be contradictory to the concept of ego dystonic behaviors.
