Abstract	This study investigates the prevalence of negative and positive thought patterns among individuals through a structured self-assessment questionnaire. Based on a conceptual framework integrating Beck’s Cognitive Theory, Fredrickson’s Broaden-and-Build Theory, and Positive Psychology principles, the research highlights how dominant thought patterns affect emotional well-being. Data were collected from a sample of individuals across various backgrounds. Results indicate that a dominance of positive thought patterns correlates strongly with higher levels of self-reported emotional well-being, while negative thought patterns were associated with emotional distress and stress. Implications for mental health practices and early intervention strategies are discussed.
