Define negative self schema
A set of beliefs and expectations of themselves that are essentially negative and pessimistic
Define conformational bias
Where we look to confirm our beliefs as opposed to disprove them
Define overgeneralisation
A person arrives at an sweeping conclusion based on a single and trivial event w.g. concluding you are going to fail because you get one c on a homework when you normally get As
Define black and white thinking
Everything is seen in a polarised manner so even a slight waiver form perfection osncpmsidered failure e.g all As but one B so therefore stupid
What makes up the negative triad
Negative views of self (I'm worthless), world (its full of obstacles) and future (it will continue in the same way)
Limitation of therapy (no link)
Data between negative thinking and depression is only correlational so cannot infer cause and effect
Strength of therapy (correlational)
Researchers assessed cognitive vulnerability on 65 women the the 3rd trimester. High levels of cognitive vulnerability = more likely to suffer post natal depression therefore negative thoughts came first and later led to dression
Criticism of therapy (saddr but wiser)
Some 'irrational beliefs'= more accurate. Depressive realism or sadder but wiser effect. Appropriate to change their thinking?
Limitations of study/therapy (r and d)
Reductionist (reduces dression down to faulty thinking. Too simplistic. Biological factors) and deterministic (negative thinking may not lead to depression, can also lead to other disorders e.g eating disorders)
