Paranoid thinking can be viewed as a human heuristic used by individuals to deal with uncertainty during stressful situations. Under stress, individuals are likely to emphasize the threatening value of neutral stimuli and increase the reliance on paranoia-based heuristic to interpreter events and guide their decisions. Paranoid thinking can also be activated by stress arising from the possibility of losing a good opportunity; this may result in an abnormal allocation of attentional resources to social agents. A better understanding of the interplay between cognitive heuristics and emotional processes may help to detect situations in which paranoid thinking is likely to exacerbate and improve intervention for individuals with delusional disorders.
偏执思维可以被视为个体在压力情境下应对不确定性的一种人类启发式策略。在压力下，个体会倾向于强调中性刺激的威胁价值，并增加对基于偏执的启发式策略的依赖，以解释事件并指导决策。偏执思维也可能因失去好机会的可能性而产生的压力而被激活；这可能导致对社会代理人的注意力资源的异常分配。更好地理解认知启发式和情绪过程之间的相互作用可能有助于检测偏执思维可能加剧的情况，并改善对妄想障碍个体的干预。
