Abstract: BackgroundThis study explored the relationship between depressive rumination, non-depressive rumination, intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and paranoia.MethodUsing a single group design, the relationship between rumination, IU, depression, positive symptoms of psychosis and paranoia was studied in 24 participants with treatment resistant psychosis.ResultsNon-depressive rumination demonstrated a specific relationship with paranoia, but not with delusions or positive symptoms generally. Moreover, paranoia was strongly associated with IU.ConclusionsRumination and IU may contribute to the maintenance of paranoid thinking and may be important in the treatment of paranoia and persecutory ideation.
