| Research Abstract |
Dichotomous thinking is an individual's propensity to think in terms of binary opposition. The aim of this study was to clarify the fundamental characteristics of the dichotomous thinking and to explore possibilities of transformation of such style of thinking. Studies showed that the dichotomous thinking tend to related to deem the human abilities more innate, to link to distorted body images and eating disorders, and to be associated with tendencies of personality disorders. Possibility to change the style of thinking was explored in a university course through use of debate.
