“…Moreover, elevated ADS can compromise analytical thinking, goal-directed pursuits, and reality testing skills (Culbreth, Westbrook, & Barch, 2016;Tomljenovic & Bubic, 2019;Zainal & Newman, 2019), as well as increase vulnerability to cognitive distortions (e.g., jumping to conclusions, black-and-white thinking) over long durations (Barron et al, 2018).
