Negative cognitive schemata
Negative cognitive schemata are stable structures in memory that guide information processing, including self -critical beliefs and attitudes, in a way that is consistent with the negative self-image of the subject. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, these cognitive schemata are rigid and resistant to change even in the face of contradictory evidence.
