Introduction and purpose: The prevalence of paranoid ideation in the general population raises questions about the factors that contribute to severe or clinical paranoia. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of shame and self-criticism in the relationship between early life experiences paranoid ideation.
Methods: The design of the correlation study was structural equation modeling. A number of 272 students were selected by Convenience sampling method and completed the tools of Early Life Experiences Scale (ELES), The “Green et al. Paranoid Thoughts Scale” -8 (GPTS-8), The External and Internal Shame Scale (EISS) and The Short-Form of the Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS-SF). To analyze the data, Pearson correlation, structural equation model and Bootstrap test were performed using SPSS-24 and Liserl-8.80 software. Bootstrop test was used to obtain indirect effects.
Findings: The results showed that self-criticism, early life experiences and shame have a positive and significant correlation with paranoid ideation (p<0.01). Shame and self-criticism play a mediating role in the relationship between early life experiences and paranoid ideation. The results of the Bootstrap test showed that the path of early life experiences with paranoid ideation with the mediating role of shame is significant, but the path of early life experiences with paranoid ideation with the mediating role of self-criticism is not significant.
Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be said that early experiences in childhood cause shame and self-criticism in people, which is associated with the emergence of paranoid ideation. Therefore, the variables of shame and self-criticism can be considered in developing therapeutic interventions for paranoid ideation. Despite the plausibility of the model investigated in this research, there may be other simultaneous explanatory models for these relationships using other variables or considering other types or directions of communication.
