What should be removed and replaced with positive messages to change negative beliefs?

  1. Filtering

  2. Over-Power

  3. Radar

  4. Preventing

The correct answer is: Filtering

Filtering involves focusing only on negative aspects of a situation while ignoring or discounting any positive aspects. By removing filtering and replacing it with positive messages, individuals can shift their focus towards more balanced and constructive thinking patterns. This can help challenge and change negative beliefs by providing alternative perspectives and promoting a more optimistic outlook. The other options, Over-Power, Radar, and Preventing, do not directly address the cognitive distortion related to negativity bias and do not offer the same effectiveness in promoting positive change in beliefs.
