Exploration of the Subtypes of Paranoia According to the Level of the Self-Concept

Abstract

This study investigated the subtypes of paranoia with the core variables of paranoia, such as the self-concept, the other-concept, and the attributional style. The Paranoia Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Hostility Scale, the Self-concept Scale, the Other-concept Scale, the Social Self-concept Scale, and the Attributional Style Questionnaire were administered to 223 college students, and the paranoid students were selected according to the score of the Paranoia Scale. Using the K-means Cluster Analysis two subgroups were extracted. And also, the paranoid group was divided into two groups according to the level of the self-concept. The subgroup with relatively high self-concept was showed more high social self-concept and less depression, and attributed the positive events more internally than the subgroup with relatively low self-concept. There were no differences in hostility and other-concept. The suggestions and the limitations of this study, and the directions of future study were discussed.
