Answer:The impact bias

Explanation:

The impact bias refers to how we tend to overestimate how a particular situation will make us feel in the future and overestimate the period it will take these feeling to last. When we face a traumatic situation we feel like it would never end and it would take us forever to recover, which is usually an exaggeration of what will actual happen.

Sandra would probably recover sooner than she thought if she isn't elected as president but the impact bias is making her feel like it would take forever.
