• Paranoid beliefs and self‐criticism in students (2007, background): “Although, as noted by Bentall et al. (2001), people with paranoia can describe themselves in positive ways and others in more negative terms, there is no reason to assume that they are not also selfcritical , especially if they make mistakes.”
• Perceived Racism as a Predictor of Paranoia Among African Americans (2006, background): “Taken as a whole, paranoia among African Americans seems to be largely made up of constructs (perceived racism, hostility) that are based on the subjective perceptions of others’ behaviors and motives (Bentall et al., 2001).”
• Psychosis as a state of aberrant salience: a framework linking biology, phenomenology, and pharmacology in schizophrenia. (2003, positive): “It has been suggested that patients prone to psychosis, especially in the context of schizophrenia, show biases in probabilistic reasoning and a tendency to “jump to conclusions” (94, 95), alterations in attributional styles (96, 97), differences in their “theory of mind” (98), and abnormal levels o”
• Cognitive Behavioural Processes Across Psychological Disorders: A Transdiagnostic Approach To Research And Treatment (2004, background): “Richard Bentall and his colleagues (Bentall and Kinderman 1998; Bentall et al. 2001) suggested that the external attribution for negative events might serve a defensive function, since patients with paranoid schizophrenia implicitly have an internalizing style for negative events but explicitly…”
• Social cognition in schizophrenia: an NIMH workshop on definitions, assessment, and research opportunities. (2008, background): “This is known as a personalizing bias.(30,31) Research involving persons with schizophrenia has also focused on hostile attributional biases or the tendency to attribute hostile intentions to others’ actions.”
• Experience sampling research in psychopathology: opening the black box of daily life (2009, result): “A recent psychological model states that persecutory delusions (e.g. the experience that someone wants to harm you) serve as a defence against low self-esteem, although studies investigating the relationship between paranoia and self-esteem level revealed inconsistent results (Bentall et al. 2001).”
• Childhood abuse as a risk factor for psychotic experiences (2003, background): “This tendency to externally attribute events may lie beneath paranoid ideation (51).”
