What is the goal of cognitive restructuring?

To develop better attitudes
To modify problematic behavior
To improve communication skills
To promote more rational thinking

The correct answer is: To promote more rational thinking

Cognitive restructuring is a technique used in cognitive behavioral therapy that aims to change negative and irrational thought patterns. This can ultimately lead to more rational thinking and decision making. While options A, B, and C may also be addressed during cognitive restructuring, they are not the main goal. Developing better attitudes, modifying problematic behavior, and improving communication skills may be byproducts of the main goal, which is promoting more rational thinking.
