between supply and demand within the economy, as well as
discuss the concept of market equilibrium. Please attach your
graphs along with your discussion in your response. Provide an
explanation for the value graphing supply and demand and
analyzing the data can have on decision-making in a business
and the economy.

Cognitive distortions are exaggerated or irrational thought
patterns that are believed to perpetuate the effects of
psychopathological states, especially depression and anxiety.
Cognitive distortions
Filtering.
We take the negative details and magnify them while filtering
out all positive aspects of a situation. For instance, a person
may pick out a single, unpleasant detail and dwell on it
exclusively so that their vision of reality becomes darkened or
distorted.

5. Cognitive distortions
Polarized Thinking (or “Black and White” Thinking).
In polarized thinking, things are either “black-or-white.” We
have to be perfect or we’re a failure — there is no middle
ground. If your performance falls short of perfect, you see
yourself as a total failure
Cognitive distortions
Overgeneralization.
We come to a general conclusion based on a single incident or a
single piece of evidence. If something bad happens only once,
we expect it to happen, again. A person may see a single,
unpleasant event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
Cognitive distortions
Jumping to Conclusions.
A person may conclude that someone is reacting negatively
toward them but doesn’t actually bother to find out if they are

6. correct. A person may anticipate that things will turn out badly,
and will feel convinced that their prediction is already an
established fact.
Cognitive distortions
Catastrophizing.
We expect disaster to strike, no matter what.
A person might exaggerate the importance of insignificant
events or they may inappropriately shrink the magnitude of
significant events until they appear tiny.
Cognitive distortions
Personalization.
Personalization is a distortion where a person believes that
everything others do or say is some kind of direct, personal
reaction to the person. We compare ourselves to others trying
to see who is smarter, better looking, etc.
A person may see themselves as the cause of some unhealthy
event that they were not responsible for. “We were late to the
dinner party and caused the hostess to overcook the meal. If I
had only pushed my husband to leave on time, this wouldn’t
have happened.”
Cognitive distortions

7. Control Fallacies.
“I can’t help it if the quality of the work is poor, my boss
demanded I work overtime on it.” This has us assuming
responsibility for the pain and happiness of everyone around us.
“Why aren’t you happy? Is it because of something I did?”
Cognitive distortions
Fallacy of Fairness.
We feel resentful because we think we know what is fair, but
other people won’t agree with us.
Blaming.
We hold other people responsible for our pain, or blame
ourselves for every problem. Nobody can “make” us feel any
particular way — only we have control over our own emotions.
Cognitive distortions
Shoulds.
We have a list of rules about how others and we should behave.
People who break the rules make us angry. We feel guilty when
we break these rules.

8. “I really should exercise. I shouldn’t be so lazy.”
Emotional Reasoning.
We believe that what we feel must be true. If we feel stupid and
boring, we must be stupid and boring. You assume that you are.
“I feel it, therefore it must be true.”
Cognitive distortions
Fallacy of Change.
We expect that other people will change to suit us if we just
pressure them enough. We need to change people because our
hopes for happiness seem to depend on them.
Always Being Right.
We continually try to prove that our opinions and actions are
correct. Being wrong is unthinkable. “I don’t care how badly
arguing with me makes you feel, I’m going to win this argument
no matter what because I’m right.” Being right often is more
important than the feelings of others.
Cognitive distortions
Heaven’s Reward Fallacy.
We expect our sacrifice and self-denial to pay off
We feel someone is keeping score.
We are bitter when the reward doesn’t come.
