An example would be that if you answered "yes" to a bunch of these questions, that would be "greater endorsement of cognitive distortions" than if you answered no to all of them.
- "A dichotomous variable" means it can be either present or not present. I.e. you're either denying and minimizing, or you're not.
- "Actuarial risk" means that factors are present that statistically are associated with risk of offending. E.g., if you're young, that increases your actuarial risk.
