Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire, CD-Quest

Author: I. de Oliveira et al. (2015)

Instruction

All of us have thousands of thoughts a day. These thoughts are words, sentences, and images that pop into our heads as we are doing things. Many of these thoughts are accurate, but many are distorted. This is why they are called cognitive errors or cognitive distortions.


Please make a choice indicating cognitive errors or distortions that you have made during this past week.

When assessing each cognitive distortion, please, indicate how often it occurred during this past week, and how much you believed it in the exact moment it occurred (not how much you believe it now).
