Objective: The literature on sexual offenders (SOs) has considered cognitive distortions, defence mechanisms and moral disengagement mechanisms as risk factors in the individual history. Recent literature focuses on how both the concepts of moral disengagement (Bandura et al. 1996) and self-serving cognitive distortions (Barriga and Gibbs 1996) constitute a group of cognitive processes. These processes help to cognitively overcome dissonance between personal moral standards and behavioral transgressions, facilitating violent or, in general, wrong acts (Ribeaud and Eisner 2010). This pilot study investigates moral disengagement mechanisms and cognitive distortions in detained male SO to make treatment effective, taking into account the link between these two constructs. Design and Method: The study sample consisted of 101 males detained in some Italian prisons. Participants were administered a Socio-demographic Data Grid, the Moral Disengagement Scale, the Vindictive Rape Attitudes Questionnaire and the Hanson Supportive Attitudes Questionnaire. Results: Moral disengagement presents a significant correlation with all aspects of examined cognitive distortions (CD) [CD (child): r=.336, p<.01; CD “Sex Kids: r= .278, p<.01; CD “Sexual Entitlement”: r= .375, p<.01; CD (rapist): r= .299, p<.01]. Child molesters’ cognitive distortions are correlated with displacement of responsibility [r= .381; p<.01] and distortion of consequences [r= .278; p<.01]. Cognitive distortions about “sexual entitlement” are correlated with moral justification (r= .284; p<.01), attribution of blame [r= .304; p<.01], euphemistic labeling [r= .274; p<.01], displacement of responsibility (r= .418; p<.01) and distortions of consequences [r= .273; p<.01]. Rapist cognitive distortions present significant correlations with attribution of blame [r= .348; p<.01] and displacement of responsibility [r= .265; p<.01]. Cognitive Distortions, measured by “Sex Kids” subscale, present a moderate correlation with moral justification [r= .222; p<.05], displacement of responsibility [r= .234; p<.05] and distortion of consequences [r= .242; p<.05]. Conclusions: Our results suggest that moral disengagement and self-serving cognitive distortions often are present in the very same cognitive processes and that these processes tend to influence sex offenders’ behaviour (Ribeaud and Eisner, 2010). The correlation between child molester cognitive distortion and Displacement of Responsibility might be explained by an immaturity of the subject and the relative difficulty in relating to an adult preferring contact with child. The correlations between cognitive distortions rapist and Attribution of Blame and Displacement of Responsibility (MDM) could be referred to the offender’s idea that some aspects of the victim (Ex. Being too provocative) justify his violent behaviour against him/her. This study could be interesting to organize specific guidelines for treatment of the offenders and especially for the relapse prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Relationships of a person are influenced by cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects. Cognitive distortions are affected by both personal history and the social norms. The present study aims to focus on ambivalent sexism and bonding to mother that may affect interpersonal cognitive distortions. Then, the relationship between ambivalent sexism, bonding to mother and interpersonal cognitive distortions are investigated. Method: Study group was consisted of 349 university students. The results showed that there was a positive significant relationship between interpersonal cognitive distortions and ambivalent sexism. Also, a negative significant relationship between cognitive distortions and bonding to mother was observed. Regression analysis showed that hostile sexism, bonding to the mother- over protective sub-dimension, benevolent sexism and bonding to the mother- care/control sub-dimension predicted interpersonal cognitive distortions. The results indicate that interpersonal cognitive distortion is affected by bonding to the mother as a significant variable in person’s history and sexism as an imposed social norm. As a result, in order to decrease interpersonal cognitive distortions, preventive studies on sexism may be crucial in the education process and mental health services.

Full textAbstract:
The authors investigated the prevalence of self-serving and self-debasing cognitive distortions and their specific relations to externalizing and internalizing problem behaviors in 96 incarcerated male and female delinquents and a comparison sample of 66 high school students. The incarcerated participants evidenced higher levels of cognitive distortion (self-serving and self-debasing) and problem behavior (externalizing and internalizing) than did comparison participants. Both self-serving and self-debasing cognitive distortions were associated with unique variance in overall problem behaviors. Most notably, self-serving cognitive distortions specifically related to externalizing behaviors, whereas self-debasing cognitive distortions specifically related to internalizing behaviors. The theoretical and treatment implications of the findings are discussed.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between social interaction anxiety, cognitive distortions, and life satisfaction among school students. Design: Correlational and Cross-sectional research design was used for the present study. Place and Duration: Present study was conducted in Faisalabad during 2019 to 2020. Method: A sample of 200 students having inaction anxiety (boys=100, girls=100) with age range 14-16 were recruited through purposive sampling from Government schools of the Faisalabad. Demographic Information Sheet, Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Cognitive Distortions Scale and student’s life satisfaction scale were used to collect information about the students, social interaction anxiety, cognitive distortions and life satisfaction of the respondents. Result: The results indicated that social interaction anxiety had a significant and positive correlation with cognitive distortion (r = .66, p < .001) and negative but significant correlation with life satisfaction (r = -.60, p < .001). Cognitive distortion was emerged as strong predictor for social interaction anxiety that accounted 46% variance for social interaction anxiety and social interaction anxiety was emerged as strong predictor for life satisfaction that accounted 36% of variance for life satisfaction. Results indicated that female students were having more social interaction anxiety & cognitive distortions and less satisfied with life as compared to male students. Conclusion: Individuals with social interaction anxiety have dysfunctional thoughts. Due to cognitive distortions these individuals evaluate social situations in a negative way and prior to interaction, these individuals appraise the social situation in a negative way. These individuals were also dissatisfied with their life. The findings of the study might be helpful for teachers, parents and the students to identify and handle the cognitive distortions. Key Words: Social Interaction Anxiety, Cognitive Distortions, Life Satisfaction

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the How I Think Questionnaire (HIT-Q), a paper-and-pencil instrument that measures self-serving, cognitive distortions. Our main hypothesis was that delinquent adolescents incarcerated in high-security juvenile correctional facilities in the Netherlands would show a higher level of cognitive distortion than their nondelinquent peers. A total of 311 delinquent and 142 nondelinquent male adolescents participated in the study. The Dutch version of the HIT-Q showed acceptable reliability and validity. Delinquent adolescents exhibited more cognitive distortions than nondelinquent adolescents. However, in contrast to the original North American version of the HIT-Q, the relationship with moral judgment was inconclusive and a correlation with intelligence was found. Both delinquent and nondelinquent young people with lower levels of education scored in the borderline-clinical range on several types of cognitive distortions. These results seem to imply that cognitive distortions are much more prevalent in nondelinquent pupils with lower levels of education than expected. Further research into cognitive distortions in nondelinquent adolescents is proposed.

Objectives: The study aimed to identify cognitive distortions among juvenile drug abusers in Jordan. Methods: The sample consisted of (55) male juveniles in short-term detention at Al-Zohour Security Center, using the available method. The cognitive Distortions scale was applied to them after extracting its validity and reliability. Results: The results indicated that the level of cognitive distortions was moderate and that cognitive distortion “minimization and maximization” came at a high level while “reading what was in the minds of others” came last at a low level. The results also showed no significant differences attributed to the effect of the family’s monthly income in all areas except in excessive generalization” in favor of those with monthly income from 500 to 1000 JD. There were no significant differences due to the effect of birth order. Conclusion: It was found that cognitive distortions exist among juveniles who are drug abusers to a moderate degree, and this means that these juveniles have a problem regarding the use of these cognitive distortions. These individuals need to know the reality of these distortions and the extent of their impact on its lives. The study recommends designing and implementing counseling programs to reduce these distortions thus reducing the use of drugs, and replacing them with effective coping strategies in dealing with life stressors.

Background/Objectives: Despite the availability of effective pharmacotherapy and evidence-based treatments, a substantial proportion of smokers do not seek treatment. This study aims to explore the cognitive distortions associated with not seeking evidence-based smoking cessation treatment and to identify cognitive barriers. Methods: The research conducted in Istanbul between October and December 2017 employs a cross-sectional design and includes two groups: a treatment-seeking group comprising 156 patients diagnosed with tobacco use disorder and a non-treatment seeking group of 78 patients with tobacco use disorder who had never sought professional help for smoking cessation. A comprehensive data collection process was used, including sociodemographic information, cognitive distortion assessment using the cognitive distortions scale, a smoking-related cognitive distortions interview and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. Results: While no significant sociodemographic differences were observed between the treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking groups, the study found that higher nicotine dependence was associated with a higher likelihood of seeking treatment. The treatment-seeking group displayed significantly higher levels of “all-or-nothing thinking” cognitive distortions related to smoking and smoking cessation. Conversely, the non-treatment-seeking group exhibited elevated levels of cognitive distortions such as “labeling”, “mental filtering”, “should statements” and “minimizing the positive” regarding receiving smoking cessation treatment. Conclusions: Understanding the cognitive distortions associated with treatment-seeking behavior for tobacco use disorder is crucial for developing targeted public-based interventions, public service announcements for tobacco use prevention and encouraging individuals to seek evidence-based treatment. Addressing these cognitive distortions can also potentially enhance the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs and reduce the global burden of tobacco-related diseases and mortality.

статья посвящена рассмотрению когнитивных искажений на примере сюжетов фильма «Танцор диско». Дается определение когнитивных искажений и описывается подход к их коррекции в русле когнитивно-поведенческой терапии (КПТ). Аргументируется выбор метода кинотерапии для коррекции когнитивных искажений. Приводятся примеры анализа и обсуждения трех когнитивных искажений: Выученная беспомощность, Чтение мыслей и Преувеличение опасности. На примере сюжетов фильма действие когнитивных искажений описывается в единстве когнитивного, эмоционального и поведенческого компонентов, что позволяет не только понять каждое когнитивное искажение на уровне мышления, но и получить целостное представление о его действии. С опорой на результаты экспериментальной программы по коррекции когнитивных искажений, проводившейся в рамках диссертационного исследования, делается вывод об эффективности применения кинотерапии для терапевтической работы с шаблонами ошибочного мышления. Обозначены такие важные аспекты метода кинотерапии для коррекции когнитивных искажений как: доступ к подавленным чувствам через идентификацию с персонажем фильма, возможность обсуждать паттерны поведения и реакций через анализ действий персонажа фильма, возможность видеть проявление когнитивного искажения в единстве когнитивного, эмоционального и поведенческого аспектов. Обозначены направления для дальнейших исследований. the article is devoted to the consideration of cognitive distortions using the example of the plots of the film “Disco Dancer”. The definition of cognitive distortions is given and an approach to their correction in line with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is described. The choice of the method of film therapy for the correction of cognitive distortions is argued. Examples of the analysis and discussion of three cognitive distortions are given: Learned helplessness, Mind reading and Exaggeration of danger. Using the example of the film’s plots, the effect of cognitive distortions is described in the unity of cognitive, emotional and behavioral components, which allows not only to understand each cognitive distortion at the level of thinking, but also to get a holistic view of its action. Based on the results of an experimental program for the correction of cognitive distortions conducted as part of a dissertation study, a conclusion is made about the effectiveness of using film therapy for therapeutic work with patterns of erroneous thinking. Such important aspects of the method of film therapy for the correction of cognitive distortions are indicated as: access to suppressed feelings through identification with the character of the film, the opportunity to discuss patterns of behavior and reactions through the analysis of the actions of the character of the film, the opportunity to see the manifestation of cognitive distortion in the unity of cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects. The directions for further research are outlined.

This study investigated differences in the scores on perceived Distress and Bulimia among college women with varying scores on the Behavioral Self-report of Femininity. Distress was assessed using The Psychological Distress Inventory and Bulimia was measured using the Bulimia Cognitive Distortions Scale. Women who reported low numbers of stereotypic feminine behaviors scored lower on the Bulimia Cognitive Distortions Scale than women reporting moderate to high numbers of stereotypic feminine behaviors. Distress scores were not significantly different between women scoring high and low on Bulimic Cognitive Distortions, and Bulimic Cognitive Distortion scores did not vary as a function of scores on Distress and Femininity. A multiple regression indicated that one factor of the Behavioral Self-report of Femininity, Social Connectedness, made a significant contribution to the prediction of Bulimia scores.

Suicide, which is defined as an individual's intentionally attempting to end his or her life, is considered an important public health problem. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive distortions and suicide probability in university students who are in age groups at risk for suicide, and to examine the mediating roles of the attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance, in this relationship. The study group consisted of 441 university students. In the study, Suicide Probability Scale, Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory, Cognitive Distortions in Relationships Scale and a personal information form were used as data collection tools. In accordance with the purpose of the study, a correlation analysis between variables and regression analyses were applied to examine the mediating roles of avoidance and anxiety in the relationship between cognitive distortions and suicide probability. The findings showed that there was a moderate positive correlational relationship between suicide probability scores and avoidance scores and there was a moderate positive correlational relationship between suicide probability scores and cognitive distortion scores. It was shown that there were low and moderate positive correlations between cognitive distortion scores, and avoidance and anxiety scores. The results of the mediation analyses showed that anxiety and avoidance had a partial mediating role in the relationship between cognitive distortion and suicide probability. The results were discussed in light of the literature.

Background and Objectives: Depression is a disorder in which personality factors are one of the presumed causes. The purpose of this study was to test the fit of structural model of personality type D and depression mediated by cognitive distortions and family functioning in the citizens of Bandar Abbas. Methods: This study was a correlation of structural equation modeling. Its population consisted of citizens of Bandar Abbas, from which 239 people were selected by stratified sampling. Measurement tools were Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Type D Personality Scale (TDPS), Interpersonal Cognitive Distortion Scale (ICDS) and Family Performance Scale (FPS). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The model of this study has an acceptable fit with the data and family functioning has a mediating role between type D and depression, but the two variables of cognitive distortion and family function were not associated with depression. The results also showed that type D has a direct and significant effect on depression, cognitive distortions and family functioning Conclusion: Personality factors, especially type D, play a role in depression. Personality type D can affect family performance and cognition.

The purpose of the study was to develop a scale for assessing cognitive distortions in Bangladesh and establishing psychometric properties for Bangladeshi population. The scale was named as Bangladesh Cognitive Distortion Scale (BCDS). Items were constructed through three stages of intensive expert evaluation where 128 respondents participated and both item analysis and factor analysis were undertaken. Finalized BCDS with 39 items was administered to 478 respondents to calculate its psychometric properties. Concurrent validity of BCDS was found 0.828 by calculating correlation between the score of BCDS and clinician’s subjective rating. Predictive validity considering anxiety and depression scale was found 0.756 and 0.841, respectively. Convergent validity (0.670) was confirmed through the correlation between the DAS and BCDS and divergent validity was established by the discriminate value (F=649.564, α<0.01) of clinical and non-clinical groups. Internal consistency reliability of BCDS (Cronbach Alpha- 0.962 and test-retest- 0.890) was found very high. The cut-off point for measuring cognitive distortion by BCDS was found 56 with sensitivity 87% and specificity 88%. According to the percentile norm, total score 56 to 72, 73 to 91, 92 to 109, 110 and above represents the mild, moderate, severe, and profound levels of cognitive distortions respectively. BCDS not only will help both clinicians and researchers to assess cognitive distortions within a short time but also could be used as a valid and reliable outcome measure in cognitive behavior therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Preventing the initiation of cigarette smoking is a core concern for adolescents? health in schools. Sufficient evidence has shown that one?s smoking behavior is susceptible to one?s misperception about the smoking status of proximate peers. However, the cognitive associates of the misperception remain largely uncharted. This study examines how cognitive distortion, which represents a cognitive error in information processing, associates with misperception of friends? cigarette smoking status. The study surveyed 334 dyads of college students to assess their cognitive distortion and misperception with instruments such as the Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses revealed that cognitive distortion significantly associated with underestimation of the friend?s smoking status, especially among non-smokers. It implies reducing cognitive distortion may be useful for preventing cigarette smoking.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder with significant negative impacts on quality of Life. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between psychosocial factors, cognitive distortions, and quality of Life in individuals with IBS and the mediating role of cognitive distortions. Participants were 200 female students of king Khalid University with IBS who completed self-report measures of psychosocial factors, cognitive distortions, and quality of Life and The Rome III Diagnostic Questionnaire for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Rome III). Results showed that perceived stress, anxiety, depression, and cognitive distortions were negatively associated with quality of Life. Furthermore, cognitive distortions partially mediated the relationships between psychosocial factors and quality of Life. These findings highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial factors and cognitive distortions in treating IBS. Cognitive-behavioral therapy may be an effective treatment approach for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression and challenging cognitive distortions in IBS patients.

We provide a definition of the concept of "cognitive distortions in the sexual sphere," reveal the relevance of the study of these distortions in the context of sexual offenses against minors. We briefly review the literature of research on the subject. We describe a research, the aim of which was to study a group of individuals who have committed sexual crimes against minors: how homogeneous is the sample in terms of the severity of the distortion. The group was divided into two subgroups: those who have been diagnosed with pedophilia, and those without pedophilia. The norm group also included persons who has never been prosecuted. To assess cognitive distortions in the sexual sphere we used SONAR method (The Sex Offender Need Assessment Rating). The obtained results confirm the importance of the factor of cognitive biases in the field of sexuality in the assessment of sexual crimes risk, as well as in the differential diagnosis of pedophilia.

Full textAbstract:
Nideffer's theory of attention and interpersonal style is based upon Easterbrook's 1959 postulates that psychological stress has predictable and sequential effects on attention, i.e., loss of attentional flexibility, attentional narrowing, and interiorization. These effects have not yet been demonstrated within a context for physical activity using exercise as the stressor. In the present study, subjects were required to react to a verbal five-choice reaction-time task while pedalling to exhaustion upon a bicycle. It was hypothesized that choice RTs and the number of omitted responses would increase predictably with the addition of the progressive exercise. There were distortions in reactions to progressive exercise. Initially, there was facilitation of performance by exercise for the conditions of rest, and exercise-induced heart rates of 115 beats per minute (bpm) with no differential effects across the attentional field. Between 115 and 145 bpm, there were universal decrements in performance, with differential and progressive effects of exercise on performance beyond 145 bpm in the peripheral fields. At 165 and 180 bpm, peripheral reactions became progressively slower with concomitant increases in the accuracy of signal detection. Both the progressive differential decrease in choice RT to the peripheral stimuli as well as the increase in errors with progressive exercise tended to support the relationship between attention and performance that Easterbrook proposed, but within an exercise context.

Abstract Self-serving cognitive distortions are biased or rationalizing beliefs and thoughts that originate from the individual persistence into immature moral judgment stages during adolescence and adulthood, increasing the individual’s engagement in antisocial or immoral conducts. To date, the literature examining trajectories of cognitive distortions over time and their precursors is limited. This study sought to fill this gap, by examining effortful control and community violence exposure as individual and environmental precursors to developmental trajectories of cognitive distortions in adolescence. The sample consisted of 803 Italian high school students (349 males; Mage = 14.19, SD = 0.57). Three trajectories of cognitive distortions were identified: (1) moderately high and stable cognitive distortions (N = 311), (2) moderate and decreasing cognitive distortions (N = 363), and (3) low and decreasing cognitive distortions (N = 129). Both low effortful control and high exposure to community violence were significant predictors for moderately high and stable trajectory of cognitive distortions. These results point to the importance of considering moral development as a process involving multiple levels of individual ecology, highlighting the need to further explore how dispositional and environmental factors might undermine developmental processes of morality.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, interpersonal cognitive distortions and emotional intelligence were identified as predictors of anxiety. In this regard, this study was conducted to describe the connections among interpersonal cognitive distortions, anxiety, and emotional intelligence and disclose the mediation of emotional intelligence between interpersonal cognitive distortions and anxiety. A total of 235 university students (135 females and 100 males) were surveyed for the correlational model in the study. The Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Test, a Personal Information Form, and the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale were utilized for collecting the data. According to the findings, emotional intelligence, interpersonal cognitive distortions, and anxiety have statistically significant negative correlations. Furthermore, it was found that interpersonal cognitive distortions had a positive and statistically significant correlation with anxiety. Based on the mediation analyses conducted in the study, it was determined that the association between interpersonal cognitive distortions and anxiety was partially mediated by emotional intelligence. As a result, the indirect influence of interpersonal cognitive distortions on anxiety is statistically significant. Experts who design programs to help persons with anxiety and who study family therapy are expected to benefit from the findings of the study.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose of the study: The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between cognitive distortions and decision-making skills among Al-Quds University students.
Methodology: The current research was performed on a sample of (264) male and female students chosen using the random method. Both of cognitive distortions and decision-making skills measurements have been used. Validity and reliability of the study instruments were tested, and it was clear that the instruments were sufficiently reliable (stable) enough to meet the objectives of the study.
Main Findings: Findings showed a negative relationship between cognitive distortions and decision-making skills among Al-Quds University students, and also suggested that the means for the total score of cognitive distortions and decision-making skills were moderate. Over-thinking reflected the dominant domain of cognitive distortions. Findings also revealed differences in cognitive distortions in favor of females, Faculty of Humanities, and residents of the village.
Applications of the study: The strength of the negative relationship between distortions and decision-making can be deduced, as there is a need to improve students’ understanding of the risks of cognitive distortions, and seek to enhance the ability of decision-making skills.
Novelty: Decision-making is one of the cognitive processes resulted from multiple-choice. Cognitive distortions influence decision-making skills. Thus, the purpose of this study was to overcome the barriers to negative thinking and to improve student capacity for appropriate and effective decision-making skills. We can obtain this using a direct relationship between cognitive distortions and decision-making skills.

Full textAbstract:
The current study explored the relationship in a general population sample between problem gambling severity and cognitive distortions about gambling. A representative sample of problem gamblers (N = 766) was asked about cognitive distortions related to gambling. A positive association between gambling severity and cognitive distortions emerged, even when the variables associated with participants' demographic characteristics were accounted for. The current study demonstrates that the relationship between problem gambling severity and cognitive distortions does exist in the general population of problem gamblers. This finding emphasizes the key role that cognitive distortions may play in the development and maintenance of pathological gambling.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based schema therapy on cognitive distortions and causal attribution in nursing and midwifery students with health anxiety. Method: The research design is quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and three-month follow-up with the control group. The statistical population included all nursing and midwifery students with health anxiety in Guilan Branch of Azad University in 2021. Among them, 30 people were selected by available sampling method and were randomly replaced in the experimental group (mentality-based schema therapy) and the control group (15 people in each group). Mentally based schema therapy was performed in 10 sessions of 90 minutes based on Young et al. (2003) training package in the experimental group. Data were collected using Ellis's Cognitive Distortion Questionnaire (1986) and the Attribution Style Questionnaire of Peterson et al. (1982). Data were collected using cognitive distortions by Ellis, Peterson et al. Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that mentally based schema therapy was effective on cognitive distortions (F= 3.59, P= 0.035) and causal attributions (F=40.30, P<0.001) of nursing and midwifery students with health anxiety. Conclusion: Considering the role of beliefs and thoughts in health anxiety, it is suggested that therapists consider mindfulness-based therapeutic schemas in reducing the symptoms of cognitive distortions and causal attributions.

The objective of the study was to determine the influence of personality disorders on the cognitive distortions of the aggressor. The research methodology was carried out under a quantitative approach, type of basic study, hypothetical deductive method, the technique was the survey and the questionnaire was the instrument for personality disorders (IPD E) and for cognitive distortions (IPDMUV-R). ). The results showed that the personality disorder influences 100% of the cognitive distortions. In that sense, the personality disorder is determined by the dimensions for a better relationship with distorted thoughts. It is concluded that cognitive distortions are characterized by frequently presenting psychological alterations due to personality disorders, lack of control over anger, difficulties in expressing emotions, deficits in communication skills, problem solving and low self-esteem.

Full textAbstract:
Cognitive distortions are negative biases in thinking that are theorized to represent vulnerability factors for depression and dysphoria. Despite the emphasis placed on cognitive distortions in the context of cognitive behavioural theory and practice, a paucity of research has examined the mechanisms through which they impact depressive symptomatology. Both adaptive and maladaptive styles of humor represent coping strategies that may mediate the relation between cognitive distortions and depressive symptoms. The current study examined the correlations between the frequency and impact of cognitive distortions across both social and achievement-related contexts and types of humor. Cognitive distortions were associated with reduced use of adaptive Affiliative and Self-Enhancing humor styles and increased use of maladaptive Aggressive and Self-Defeating humor. Reduced use of Self-Enhancing humor mediated the relationship between most types of cognitive distortions and depressed mood, indicating that distorted negative thinking may interfere with an individual’s ability to adopt a humorous and cheerful outlook on life (i.e., use Self-Enhancing humor) as a way of regulating emotions and coping with stress, thereby resulting in elevated depressive symptoms. Similarly, Self-Defeating humor mediated the association of the social impact of cognitive distortions with depression, such that this humor style may be used as a coping strategy for dealing with distorted thinking that ultimately backfires and results in increased dysphoria.

Full textAbstract:
While cognitive-behavioral theories emphasize cognitive biases that significantly impact people's negative emotional states, positive psychology studies emphasize positive sources of strength, such as psychological resilience, and their influence on achieving psychological well-being. In light of the centralised perspectives of both approaches towards mental health and relevant literature, there is noticeable emphasis in recent years on the use of integration models such as “positive cognitive behavioural therapy”. It is from this precipice that this study examined the concepts of “cognitive distortions”, “psychological resilience” and “subjective well-being”, all of which have been at the centre of studies carried out on cognitive behavioural and positive psychology. The study was carried out within the framework of a hypothetical model specifically concerning one of the most important stages of adolescence development. Furthermore, it aimed to examine psychological resilience as a mediator in the relationship between cognitive distortions and adolescent well-being, within the influence of sex as a moderated variable. 447 adolescents participated in the study. The data was collected using the “Cognitive Distortions”, “Psychological Resilience”, “Adolescent Subjective Well-Being” scales. In examining the hypothesis model, a phasal approach was used. It was determined that cognitive distortion, adolescents' well-being, and psychological resilience have a structural association. Results revealed that psychological resilience partially mediates the relationship between cognitive bias and adolescent well-being. Sex was not determined to have a moderated effect as a mediator.

Full textAbstract:
Several recent conceptualizations of anger have emphasized the importance of cognitive mediating processes. While there have been a few investigations showing correlations between cognitive distortion and anger, they have suffered methodological shortcomings. Anger difficulties have also been related to social skills deficits. The association has been inferred mainly through assertion treatment studies which usually show improvement in anger difficulties. There have been few studies examining an a priori relationship between assertion deficits and anger. The current correlational study of college students examined the relationship between self-report measures of general cognitive distortion, assertion-specific cognitive distortion, assertion, and anger difficulties. General cognitive distortion, though not assertion or assertion-related cognitions, was found to be related to anger. Moreover, hypotheses regarding which general cognitive distortions would be related to anger were largely supported. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Although cognitive distortions and deficits are known risk factors for the development and escalation of suicide ideation and behaviour, no empirical work has examined how these variables interact to predict suicide ideation. The current study proposes an integrative model of cognitive distortions (hopelessness and negative evaluations of self and future) and deficits (problem solving deficits, problem solving avoidance, and cognitive rigidity). To test the integrity of this model, a sample of 397 undergraduate students completed measures of deficits, distortions, and current suicide ideation. A structural equation model demonstrated excellent fit, and findings indicated that only distortions have a direct effect on suicidal thinking, whereas cognitive deficits may exert their effects on suicide ideation via their reciprocal relation with distortions. Findings underscore the importance of both cognitive distortions and deficits for understanding suicidality, which may have implications for preventative efforts and treatment.

Full textAbstract:
Emotions are dynamic processes; their variability relates to psychological well-being and psychopathology. Affective alterations have been linked to mental diseases like depression, although little is known about how similar patterns occur in healthy individuals. This study investigates the psychophysiological correlations of emotional processing in healthy subjects, specifically exploring the relationship between depressive traits, cognitive distortions, and facial electromyographic (f-EMG) responses during affective transitions. A cohort of 44 healthy participants underwent f-EMG recording while viewing emotional images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Self-report measures included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS). Higher BDI scores were associated with increased EMG activity in the corrugator muscle during transitions between positive and negative emotional states. Cognitive distortions such as Catastrophizing, All-or-Nothing Thinking, and Minimization showed significant positive correlations with EMG activity, indicating that individuals with higher levels of these distortions experienced greater facial muscle activation during emotional transitions. This study’s results indicate that there is a bidirectional correlation between depressed features and cognitive distortions and alterations in facial emotional processing, even in healthy subjects. Facial EMG in the context of dynamic affective transitions has the potential to be used as a non-invasive method for detecting abnormal emotional reactions at an early stage. This might help in identifying individuals who are at risk of developing depression and guide therapies to prevent its advancement.

The current study aimed to reveal the level of body image disorders and cognitive distortions among diabetic amputees. The study used the descriptive analytical method. The study sample consisted of diabetic amputees in Karak governorate, whose ages ranged between (25-60) years. So, to achieve the objectives of the study, the Shafi’i Scale (2021) was adapted for body image disorder. And the adaptation of the Salah al-Din Scale (2015) for cognitive distortions, and the psychometric properties of the two scales were verified for validity and reliability. A sample of (61) diabetic amputees responded to both scales, and the data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Accordingly, the results indicated that there was an average level of body image disorder and cognitive distortions among the sample members. And there is a positive, statistically significant correlation between body image disorder and cognitive distortions. The results also indicated that there were differences in body image disorder and cognitive distortions among the sample members according to gender and in favor of females who were more affected by body image disorder and cognitive distortions than males. In its conclusion, the study stressed the need to work on reducing body image disorder and cognitive distortions in individuals with diabetes who have amputation.

Full textAbstract:
Online learning has begun to take place in Indonesia since March 2020 simultaneously in all educational institutions due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 outbreak. Sudden changes make it difficult for students to process information and lead to various patterns of thinking errors which are known as cognitive distortions. This study aims to reveal the patterns of cognitive distortions that students have during the online lectures. The research design used is a phenomenological qualitative design. Analysis of cognitive distortions was collected through in-depth interviews and document studies to 8 Banjar ethnic students. The results of the study found that there were 3 cognitive distortions, namely: (1) catastrophizing; (2) all-or-nothing thinking; and (3) should statements. The effects of these cognitive distortions include feeling lazy, bored, afraid, uncomfortable, drowsy, shaking, and heart palpitations. In the context of student behavior, students also tend to neglect lectures, access social media, sleep, and go to hang out with friends. Further research is needed to explore student’s cognitive distortions in post-Covid-19 pandemic situation or with diverse populations.

The aim of the current research is to build a scale of cognitive distortions among university students, to identify the level of cognitive distortions among university students, and to know the significance of statistical differences in cognitive distortions according to gender, specialization and stage of study. The current research is limited to students of Salah al-Din University in Erbil governorate in its various faculties and who are continuing in morning studies according to the variables (gender, specialization, academic stage) for the academic year (2020-2021). The current research relied on the following procedures to obtain the scale:
1-A scale of cognitive distortions was developed and built according to the Beak model, consisting of (7) dimensions: (dual thinking, overgeneralization, personalism, compulsions and imperatives, false interpretation, and unfair comparison).
2-Presenting the items (cognitive distortions) to a group of experts in education and psychology to extract the apparent validity of the cognitive distortions scale as well as extracting the construction echo for them.
3-The research sample included (500) male and female students who were chosen randomly.
4- Analysis of the scale items using the upper and lower group method.
5- Extracting the stability of the scale by the re-test method, as it reached on the scale (0.83) and in the half-segmentation method for the cognitive distortions scale it reached (0.93) and by the Cronbach’s Alpha method for the scale reached (0.94)
After applying the cognitive distortions scale to the sample members and analyzing their data statistically by using (SPSS), the following results were reached:
1- The sample members had a level of defined distortions.
2- There are no statistically significant differences in cognitive distortions among the university students according to the two variables (gender and specialization), and there are statistically significant differences according to the academic stage variable.
In light of the research results, a number of conclusions were reached and a number of recommendations and suggestions were presented.

Full textAbstract:
Although cognitive distortions are widely acknowledged in the explanation of impulsivity-related psychopathologies (and more recently in the explanation of specific impulsive behaviors), no study has systematically verified whether they can also explain the cognitive processes underlying these impulsivity traits of personality: urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking (UPPS). Moreover, childhood maltreatment has been frequently associated with both cognitive distortions and impulsive behaviors but never with UPPS traits. A study was conducted on undergraduate students to examine the influence of cognitive distortions and childhood maltreatment on four dimensions of impulsivity from the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale. Regression analyses revealed that Premature Processing, a term applied to a group of seven cognitive distortions such as emotional reasoning and confusing needs and wants, as well as childhood maltreatment, was able to predict significantly and independently the Negative Urgency dimension of impulsivity, above and beyond gender and the three other subscales of the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale. Coherent with Beck’s cognitive model, these results suggest that the Negative Urgency trait is associated with cognitive distortions that can undermine thought processes in a variety of ways, increasing the likelihood of acting rashly. However, more studies are needed to develop instruments and identify specific forms of cognitive distortions associated with impulsivity traits.

This study aimed to examine whether the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions have a predictive effect on the marital satisfaction level of married teachers. The sample of the study consisted of 107 (28.1%) male and 271 (71.9%) female married teachers working in Gaziantep. In the study, a Personal Information Form was used to collect data on the demographic characteristics of married teachers, the Marriage Life Scale to measure marital satisfaction level, the Cheating Tendency Scale to measure the level of infidelity tendency, and the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale to measure interpersonal cognitive distortions. A survey model was used in this study. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression analysis methods were used in the analysis process of the obtained data. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions were significant predictors of marital satisfaction. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions explained 30% of married teachers' marital satisfaction. At the same time, there is a negative and significant relationship between marital satisfaction and the tendency to cheat; a positive and significant relationship exists between the tendency to cheat and interpersonal cognitive distortions. It has been determined that there is a negative and significant relationship between interpersonal cognitive distortions and marital satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
This study adapted and validated the How I Think Questionnaire (HIT-Q), intending to develop an Arabic version of the measure. The study assessed the (a) factorial structure of the Arabic version of the How I Think Questionnaire (A-HIT-Q), (b) construct validity evidence of the A-HIT-Q based on the internal structure of the scale, and (c) criterion validity evidence, highlighting how the cognitive distortions measure relates to some key theoretical variables such as depression. This study involved 762 Tunisian students aged 15–22 years, using a non-probabilistic sampling method. The students were boys (n = 297) and girls (n = 465). They completed self-report forms on Arabic-HIT-Q, depression (HADS), sleep (ISI), and physical activity participation, adhering to all relevant ethical considerations. Exploratory analysis revealed four factors which accounted for 73.46% of the variations in the distortion measure. Reliability analysis showed good internal consistency (α = 0.915) and temporal stability (r = 0.879). Criterion validity evidence showed cognitive distortion (as measured with the A-HIT-Q) was significantly associated with physical activity participation, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, no significant relationship has been observed between cognitive distortion, age, gender, and study levels. The evidence gathered supports the utility of the A-HIT-Q. Thus, the instrument demonstrates high efficacy in assessing the levels of cognitive distortions among adolescent students residing in Arabic-speaking regions.

Full textAbstract:
This literature review examines whether cognitive distortion and events in childhood have any relationship with psychological adjustment in adulthood or in daily life using various studies conducted in the area. Participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, which assessed retrospective accounts of childhood trauma; the Cognitive Distortions Scale, which measured internal attributions and perceptions of controllability; and the attachment style questionnaire, which assessed the attachment attribute of their daily life. Results supported the hypothesis that events and cognitive distortion are related constructs. In other words, events in past influenced cognitive distortion, which in turn influenced the expression of symptoms in adults reporting a history of childhood trauma. The implications for therapy were considered. Some therapy methods that are best suited for the given disorder were also suggested. A self-help model is also suggested with its limitations given. Key Words: - Cognitive distortion, childhood trauma, attachments, therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Three groups of boys in Washington State care (37 sexually aggressive, 17 physically aggressive, and 15 nonaggressive) are compared on measures of behavior and cognition. Bandura’s Social Cognition theory is offered as a possible explanation for sexual aggression by children. Two theory-based hypothesis are tested. First, are sexually aggressive children cognitively deficient when compared to the other groups? Second, do the sexually aggressive children have cognitive distortions about their behavior and about sex? Similarities were found in the aggressive and sexually aggressive groups on several measures. Physically aggressive boys were found to have some sexual behavior problems. Sexually aggressive boys were also found to be physically aggressive. Physically aggressive boys were found to have the least severe and least frequent victimization history. No support was found for the first hypothesis, while some evidence of cognitive distortions regarding both social behavior and sex was found in the sexually aggressive children. Discussion and some implications for research and practice are offered.

Full textAbstract:
Cognitive therapists have described cognitive distortions that are frequently associated with depression. These distortions include arbitrary inference, selective abstraction, overgeneralization, magnification and minimization, personalization, and dichotomous thinking, which are often present in suicidal individuals. This article suggests it is useful to conceptualize cognitive distortions in literary terms and uses the professional oeuvre of confessional poet Anne Sexton to identify salient examples.
