This study investigates the relationship between cognitive distortions and decision-making abilities among undergraduate students. A sample of 200 students was assessed using self-developed, validated tools. Results showed that both cognitive distortions and decision-making skills were at an average level. A weak positive correlation (r = 0.2085) was found between the two variables, indicating that cognitive distortions have minimal impact on students’ decision-making. The findings suggest the need for interventions to improve rational thinking and cognitive awareness.
