Ali is a student at the university. He has to make a presentation for one of his classes. Before the presentation, All had already started to think about his presentation. The thoughts going through his mind are as follows: "I will definitely fail and this will be intolerable. I will be so upset and I won't be able to concentrate on my exams. I am either successful or unsuccessful, there is no middle ground. Moreover, my hands will shake with excitement and my classmates will think how weak I am". The day has come for Ali to make a presentation and he gave a nice presentation. After the presentation was over, his friends congratulated him and said that they learned new information from the presentation. However, Ali was disturbed by this feedback and this time he started to think, "Actually, the presentation was bad, but they said that so I wouldn't be upset".

A) Fortune telling B) All-or-nothing thinking C) Should statement D) Discounting/disqualifying the positive 2) Which of the following does not match the cognitive distortion mentioned correctly with its example? A) Overgeneralization: "I had anxiety while introducing myself to my friends and lecturers on the first day of school. I am always going to be anxious about talking in school all the time" B) Personalization and blame: "Ayşe was suffering abuse at the hands of her boyfriend. Every time he verbally assaulted her, she thought, "If I was just a better girlfriend and more attentive to him, I wouldn't anger him so much" C) Mind reading: "When she looks at my face she is disgusted and definitely thinks I am ugly" D) Discounting/disqualifying the positive: "Since I cannot pass this exam with a high grade, the lecturer will think that I am lazy and will evaluate me accordingly" 3) Which of the following is not correct about emotions? A) For to have strong emotion; interpretation, identification and repetition are needed B) For an emotion to survive long term, there must be a process of identification C) Rather than saying, "I feel sad," or "I experience a feeling of sadness" more accurate way to describe that emotion would be: "I am sad" D) Our personal story has an impact on how we interpret an event or idea Ali is a student at the university.
