Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catastrophizing is an explanatory style where individuals tend to expect the worst possible outcome or exaggerate the difficulties they face. This negative outlook on life's challenges is associated with higher stress levels and poorer health outcomes, which can contribute to a higher risk of mortality.
