This experimental mediation study aims to examine whether negative beliefs about self and others and cognitive fusion mediate the impact of attachment imagery (secure vs. neutral) on paranoia, anxiety, help-seeking, and recovery outcomes in a clinical group with psychosis. The study will also examine whether the secure imagery prime facilitates recovery after stress, to inform clinical practice. We will finally investigate whether hyperactivating and deactivating emotion regulation strategies mediate the association between global attachment style and trait paranoia and anxiety.

This study aims to determine whether emotion regulation strategies (hyperactivating, deactivating, and adaptive) mediate the impact of secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment imagery on paranoia and anxiety

This experimental study aims to examine the effects of repeated attachment priming on paranoia, affect and help-seeking intentions, in people with high levels of non-clinical paranoia, and whether cognitive fusion mediates these relationships.
