The Adaptive Mindset for Resilience Model
Humans are hard-wired to focus on negative, threatening information. There is a mechanism at work in our brains, called the Negativity Bias, It causes unproductive thoughts that limit our performance and cause us stress. Fortunately, these fall into distinctive patterns that, with practice, can be recognized and interrupted. These are known as the 6 Negativity Bias Patterns.
What are the 6 Negativity Bias Patterns?
The Negativity Bias is a core source of our stress and is the reason we have such difficulty adapting to change and responding productively to adversity. There are 6 Negativity Bias patterns that as humans we inhibit:
- Comparing: Interpreting events using unrealistic standards. Focusing on others who seem to do better.
- Magnifying: Magnifying the negatives and minimizing the positives. Thinking about how things should be, rather than on what is.
- Catastrophizing: Believing that what has happened or will happen will be awful. Wondering about “what if” something happens.
- Blaming: Blaming others for negative events and not taking appropriate responsibility.
- Internalizing: Unrealistically blaming yourself and not accepting that some events are out of your control. Giving yourself a negative label.
- Assuming: Assuming the worst without evidence. Thinking that single negative events apply to your entire life.
