About
This quiz focuses on cognitive distortions, which are irrational or biased ways of thinking that can negatively impact mental health and decision-making. The content is appropriate for grades 9-12, as it requires students to analyze complex psychological concepts and apply critical thinking skills to distinguish between different types of distorted thinking patterns. Students need a solid understanding of psychology terminology and the ability to recognize subtle differences between various cognitive distortions such as catastrophizing, overgeneralization, mental filter, mind reading, emotional reasoning, fortune telling, all-or-nothing thinking, personalization, labeling, and should statements. The quiz demands higher-order thinking skills as students must not only memorize definitions but also apply their knowledge to realistic scenarios and identify which specific distortion is being demonstrated in each example. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying psychology and mental health at the high school level. This assessment serves as an excellent tool for psychology teachers to evaluate their students' mastery of cognitive behavioral therapy concepts and their ability to identify maladaptive thought patterns. The quiz works effectively as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving on to intervention strategies, or as review material before unit exams. Teachers can use this for individual practice, small group discussions where students justify their answers, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning about mental health awareness. The content aligns with health education standards that address mental and emotional health, particularly those focusing on recognizing and managing thoughts and emotions that affect well-being.
