Referential thinking is the tendency to view innocuous stimuli as having a specific meaning for the self and is associated with personality traits and disorders. In three studies, this research examined the relations among referential thinking, self-processing, and paranoia. In study 1, follow-up questions on the Referential Thinking Scale (Lenzenweger, Bennett, & Lilenfeld, 1997) revealed that referential thoughts are experienced as unpleasant and pleasant. In Study 2, unpleasant referential thinking was more strongly associated with paranoia and maladaptive self-processing and personality. CFAs in Study 1 and 2 found that unpleasant and pleasant referential thinking loaded on different factors. In Study 3, a group of participants with elevated schizotypal personality reported more unpleasant and pleasant referential thoughts than a control group.
参照性思维是指将无害刺激视为对自身具有特定意义的倾向,它与人格特质及障碍有关。在三项研究中,本研究考察了参照性思维、自我加工和偏执之间的关系。在研究1中,对参照性思维量表(Lenzenweger、Bennett和Lilenfeld,1997)的后续问题显示,参照性思维既有不愉快的体验,也有愉快的体验。在研究2中,不愉快的参照性思维与偏执、适应不良的自我加工及人格的关联更强。研究1和2中的验证性因素分析发现,不愉快和愉快的参照性思维加载在不同因素上。在研究3中,一组分裂型人格特质较高的参与者比对照组报告了更多不愉快和愉快的参照性思维。
