What triggers the core schema in Aaron Beck's cognitive therapy?

Both 1 and 2

Aaron Beck's approach focuses on anxiety and depression. Beck's theory emphasizes the development of core schemas or systems based on childhood experiences and societal influences. For example, a client who experienced parental neglect may develop a core schema of "I am not wanted." Subsequent critical incidents, like being publicly ridiculed by a teacher, trigger negative automatic thoughts associated with the core schema, such as "nobody loves me," "I am ugly," or "I will not succeed." These thoughts exhibit cognitive distortions, general patterns of negative thinking that distort reality.
