When you punch, kick, scratch, etc., you are attacking, in self defense or not, all of the above will be more effective and forcefull if the person doing it is mentally prepared to attack.
AFAIK, there is nothing to support that idea. In fact, given that self-preservation is one of the strongest drives out there, it seems doubtful that they will defend better or stronger by trying to fool themselves that they are attacking rather than defending.

Killing is very likely to be the result if a defender rolls 4 rounds into an attackers chest.
So? Thta is not why you are shooting him. You are shooting him to make him stop bothering you. If he dies, he dies, but that is of no concern to why you act.

They are much more likely to hesitate and miss without this mental resolution.
Again, I don't think there is anything that would bear that out, and a lot suggests otherwise.
