The English equivalent of "önfigyelés" is "self-monitoring". Self-monitoring itself is not necessarily an indication of behavior disorder, only if it is excessive, compulsive, or obsessive. (There is nothing in the source text that would suggest this is the case.)

"During the 1970s when the self-monitoring concept was introduced it became part of two larger ongoing debates. Within personality research there was the tension between traits and situation; one could think of this as the nature versus nurture debate. Were people more inclined to behave consistent with innate personality traits or were they shaped by their environment?"

Please note: self-monitoring and self-observation are two different terms. There is extensive literature on personality psychology, available both in print and online. One example that outlines the difference:

"...self-monitoring is a technique that incorporates several components. Each component may also be useful in isolation or in combination with the other. Kanfer (1971) identified the three components of self-monitoring as self-observation, self-evaluation and self-recording. Self-observation requires the individual to simply be aware that the specified behavior has occurred. (...) As long as no other component of the self-monitoring process (...) is employed, the behavior would be characterized as self-observation (also called self-assessment) alone."
