Abstract

The study aimed at discovering the level of cognitive distortions among Yarmouk University students who were selected randomly from faculties of humanities and science. The sample of the study consisted of 1552 students. The researchers used Roberts (2015) cognitive distortions scale after verifying its psychometric features. The results of the study showed that the level of cognitive distortion was moderate among the students on the overall and subscale of the study. The findings indicated that there were statistically significant differences attributed to gender, in favor of males, and the accumulative average, in favor of the pass level. In contrast, there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the faculty and academic year.
