Can cognitive distortions differentiate between internalising and externalising problems?
Article Abstract:
A sample of 189 boys and 216 girls with the average age of 15 years were recruited from three main high schools in Hong Kong and asked to participate in a study which examined the association of various forms of cognitive distortions to internalizing and externalizing community problems. The Children's Negative Cognitive Errors Questionnaire and the Youth Self-Report Form were administered to the subjects. Regression and group comparison analyses showed that internalizing problems were related to the different forms of cognitive distortions assessed, including personalizing and selective abstraction.
