Answer 1

Answer:Breanna exhibits a ruminative negative cognitive style and Terron uses a distracting cognitive style.

Explanation:

​ruminative and distracting​:

Ruminative cognitive style occurs when one is stressed and they feel like the situation is permanent and can not be changed. They think a lot about the situation , how disastrous it is and usually they turn it too personally where they see themselves as deficient and flawed. They can't get over the stressful situation so they sit an mourn over it for days and it affect even the way they are around others , they may even isolate themselves. That what Brianna is doing .

Terron on the other hand has found something that can distract him from the whole painful or stressful situation until he can be able to release it , as he jogs he is releasing all the stressful hormones that have been caused by the situation and after a good jog he feels better and fresh. This is a distracting cognitive thinking where one find something that can replace or eliminate the situation that is bothering them without dwelling on the situation.
