Cognitive theories support that a dysfunctional thinking style is at the root of psycho-emotional consequences as they can determine an individual’s perspective and attitudes toward events and situations, they encounter in their lives (00). Temiz et al. (00) reported positive correlations between anxiety, depression, somatization, negative self, hostility and dysfunctional attitudes in their studies. In a study conducted with university students, it was reported that dysfunctional attitudes affected students' stress, anxiety and depression levels (00). Batmaz et al. (00) reported in their study that dysfunctional attitudes were causal factors in theonset and continuation of depression. Dysfunctional attitudes are negative predictors of self-esteem (00).
