This thesis investigates quality of reasoning within non-clinical paranoia and mental simulation of future paranoia themed events by use of a simulation task methodology.

Alternatively, due to reasoning biases and difficulty in constructing non-hostile explanations for events, performance may instead be reduced or restricted. Sixty-three par...
