Selective abstraction.

Explanation:

Cognitive biases or distortions are an erroneous or distorted interpretation of an event, situation or thought. These distortions generate emotional discomfort, which can lead to the development of mental disorders.

Aaron Beck developed this theory, and treating cognitive distortions in people is fundamental in the cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Abstraction is a cognitive bias in which the person focuses his attention on a single detail, ignoring everything else. In this case, Debbie ignores all the positive aspects of her test results and concentrates only on the aspect that she considers negative, this causes her discomfort.
