Lets start with your personal attitude; your attitude goes a long way toward staying within the self-defense square. Your attitude goes a long way toward avoidance or de-escalation or escalation. You really want to avoid escalation because that often leads to a physical altercation.

Another aspect of attitude is the one you assume during the after of self-defense, i.e., when a third party gets involved such as the police. Your attitude can make the difference of going home safe and sound or going straight to jail. 

You can allow your attitude to be driven by the human brain with its knowledge and logical ability to maintain the self-defense square or you can allow your monkey brain to drive with a result of fighting, arrest and telling your story to the court and the jury with the prosecutor using that monkey party bilge you let loose at the site convict you and send you off to a vacation in your state's prison. 

A positive cooperative attitude goes a long way toward helping the police make the right decision and allowing you continued freedom that is a solid goal.

Your attitude toward the entire spectrum of self-defense also matters and you can influence that attitude by the knowledge and experience in self-defense, conflict and violence.
