In this paper the presence of atributional cognitive biases in delusional patients is studied. Explicit (IPSAQ) and implicit (PIT) attributional measures have been used to analyze the attributional style in a sample of 40 delusional patients (19 paranoid patients and 21 non paranoid patients). The results showed the presence of attributional biases (i.e. externalizing and personalizing) independently of the delusional content when an explicit task was used. Compared to non paranoid patients, the paranoid group showed a different attributional style when it was assessed through an implicit task. Theoretical and clinical implications of the results are discussed.Downloads
