This study tested the hypothesis that paranoid tendency is related to low self-esteem, negative self-concept, and defensive attributional style. The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Self-concept Scale, the Attributional Style Questionnaire, the Life Event Attribution Scale were administered to 191 college students. The results showed that the paranoid tendency was related to negative self-concept, low self-esteem, and attributional styles that attribute negative events to external and stable causes. The suggestions and the limitations of this study, and the directions of future study were discussed.
