Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Personal identity is constructed through cognitive processes of perception and cognition. Perception is a function of the mind, not the senses. Perception is an intrapersonal process. Negative images are retained longer than positive ones.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Negative concepts of possible selves can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Distorted reality refers to a sense of self not based in reality. Selective attention occurs when a person hears only part of the message. Cognitive distortion refers to a distortion in thinking.
