This study investigated the effect of dichotomous thinking on the Interpretation of social situations and examined their characteristics. 150 college students(64 males, 85 females) were assigned to the dichotomous thinking priming group and the control group, and the two groups reported the affects they had experienced for a week and then performed the tasks. In this study, we used the set effects to make the dichotomous thinking priming group interpret the social situation through dichotomous thinking. The dichotomous thinking priming group repeatedly performed a task evaluating a certain words as two adjectives(eg, good or bad) in the opposite direction. The control group repeatedly performed the task evaluating specific words using continuous scales. Next, each group evaluated the feelings about positive, negative, and neutral situations that they could experience in their daily lives. As results, the dichotomous thinking priming group extremely evaluated the overall social situation more than the control group. In addition, the interaction of dichotomous thinking and emotions significantly predicted evaluations of overall and neutral social situations. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of this study and recommendation are presented.
