dc.description | Cognitive distortions are mistakes in how we process information that lead to incorrect responses because we overinterpret events. These responses don't come directly from the events themselves but from how we perceive them. There are various kinds of cognitive distortions, like selective abstraction, polarized thinking, overgeneralization, misinterpreting thoughts, catastrophic thinking, personalization, the belief in absolute control, justice fallacy, emotional reasoning, the belief in external control for personal well-being, global labels, guilt, imposing rigid rules on ourselves or others ("shoulds"), belief in personal infallibility, and expecting rewards from the world for solving problems spontaneously. On the other hand, emotions play a significant role in our lives, affecting how we react to events. For instance, joy and sadness prompt different behaviors. Emotions are complex states involving both physical and mental changes, often leading to specific actions. Our research project stems from understanding how emotions and cognitive distortions impact the lives of elderly individuals at the Gerontological Center in Montalvo. We're exploring whether cognitive distortions influence the emotions of this demographic. To investigate this, we employed the Automatic Thoughts Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale with a sample of 53 older adults. This descriptive study allowed us to explore the relationship between cognitive distortions and emotions in this specific context, leading us to draw conclusions. | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | Las distorsiones cognitivas son errores en el procesamiento de información que generan respuestas incorrectas debido a una interpretación exagerada de los eventos. Estas respuestas no están determinadas por los eventos en sí, sino por la percepción de los mismos. Existen varios tipos de las distorsiones cognitivas, como el filtraje de abstracción selectiva, el pensamiento polarizado, la sobregeneralización, la interpretación del pensamiento, la visión catastrófica, la personalización, la falacia de control, la falacia de justicia, el razonamiento emocional, la falacia de cambio, las etiquetas globales, la culpabilidad, los "deberías", la falacia de razón y la falacia de recompensa divina., por otra parte las emociones están presentes en momentos significativos de la vida y afectan cómo respondemos a eventos. Alegría y tristeza, por ejemplo, impulsan comportamientos diferentes. Las emociones son estados complejos que involucran cambios físicos y mentales, y pueden llevar a acciones específicas. Nuestro proyecto de investigación surge de la comprensión de cómo las emociones y las distorsiones cognitivas afectan la vida de los adultos mayores en el Centro Gerontológico del cantón Montalvo. Nos preguntamos si las distorsiones cognitivas influyen en las emociones de este grupo de personas. Para abordar esta pregunta, utilizamos la Escala de Pensamientos Automáticos y la Escala de afecto positivo y negativo con una muestra de 53 adultos mayores. Este estudio, de naturaleza descriptiva y sin correlación, nos permitió explorar la relación entre las distorsiones cognitivas y las emociones en este contexto específico, llegando a una conclusión | es_ES |
