Answer 1

Labeling and mislabeling

Step-by-step explanation:

Labeling and mislabeling can be defined as the way in which a person overgeneralized their thought leading to mistake in their thinking by labelling themselves and others negatively because they have issues instead of thinking about why the issue arise or the cause.

Labelling and mislabeling has to do with using and thinking negatively against one own self and others.

Instead of a person to describe his/her error they tend to generalize it by attaching negative label to themselves example when some loss the person may generalised it by saying she is a loser and when someone offend them in the wrong way they will generalised it by saying the person is irresponsible or does not know what he/she is doing .

Answer 2

Answer: This is called "LABELING AND MISLABELING"

Explanation: Labeling is a special description that defines the character of a person or something.

When you label a person for an attitude he or she has done, it means you have defined the person using that attitude you saw.

Mislabeling is when you have labeled someone or something wrongly. When you have defined someone with a character that the person does not portray, you have mislabeled the person.

When a person's identity has been portrayed using the mistake done in the past, it means labeling because you have defined the person using that character, it also means mislabeling because the person may have changed, due to influence or motivation.
