Method: The statistical population of this study includes all people living in city of Karaj and the sample size was calculated 384 based on Cochran formula. Sampling was done purposefully and in the next step it was done voluntarily and online. In order to collect data, Ozturk and Hammaci (2004) Cognitive Distortion Scale, Palutzian and Ellison (1983) Spiritual Health Scale and the researcher-made questionnaire of trust, patience and peaceful coexistence were used. Results: The results of the study using multivariate regression based on ANOVA test showed that trust, spiritual health and peaceful coexistence had a positive effect on reducing cognitive distortion. The results also showed that patience could not reduce cognitive distortion. Conclusion: As a result, in the social dimension, increasing trust and promoting empathetic coexistence in society and in the individual dimension, increasing spiritual health can be a basis for reducing cognitive distortion.
