Abstract

The study investigates whether adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation (ER) strategies such as reappraisal, catastrophizing or self-blaming prospectively predict paranoia. We conducted an exploratory longitudinal study with two measurement points, 1 month apart, in a subclinical sample using an online-survey (N = 60). Using bivariate correlations and linear regression analysis, we investigated the cross-sectional and prospective relationship of paranoia and cognitive ER strategies. Only maladaptive cognitive ER strategies were correlated with paranoia. The maladaptive ER strategy ‘self-blaming’ at Time 1 positively predicted paranoia at Time 2 (R 2 = 0.66, p < 0.001). Maladaptive ER has an explanatory value to inform the underlying mechanisms of paranoia in subclinical and potentially clinical samples.
