- Abstract
The article presents results of the study oriented to identify the religious attitude and its relationship with the cognitive distortions in a sample of people that belong to a religious cult of Protestant origin. Investigation with the quantitative approach, descriptive level and crosssection desing use the Inventory of automatic thoughts of Ruiz and Lujan (1991) and the scale of religious Attitude of Orozco Domínguez (2014) in the intentional sample of 50 people belonging to a religious congregation of Witnesses of Jehovah from the metropolitan area of Medellín, Colombia. The results showed a high religious attitude in the study sample without the statistically significant correlation with the cognitive distortions. However, although not conclusively, the results indicated the presence of some important aspects such as a tendency towards higher scores in polarized thinking, overgeneralization, catastrophic vision, personalization, emotional reasoning, fallacy of change, guilt and fallacy of divine reward in the group with highest religious attitude, indicating the importance to continue studies in this line which can help to understand the phenomenon of religiosity and its relationship with cognitive aspects.
