Abstract
Cognitive failure is associated with memory and concentration problems. Cognitive failures are minor errors in thinking reported by clinical and non-clinical individuals during everyday life. The current study was conducted to explore the relationship of cognitive failure, depression, anxiety and stress. Sample of 167 male and female were selected through convenient sampling technique. Two research instrument were used to measure variables; Cognitive Failures Questionnaire by Broadbent (1982) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale by Coker et al. (2018). Findings of the study reveal that there is negative relationship between cognitive failure, depression, anxiety and stress among non-clinical individuals. Moreover, it was found that level of cognitive failure during everyday life activities was greater among female as compared to male. In addition, results suggest that psychological burden such as depression, anxiety and stress due to cognitive distortion was significant higher among females than male.
