No study has yet compared remitted currently ill patients on schema measures, or tolerance Currently psychotic persecutory delusions, whose had remitted, normal participants completed Personal Style Inventory (PSI), a self-schema measure, Need for Closure Scale (NCS), measure intolerance Acutely scored higher than PSI autonomy scale. This difference became nonsignificant when depression was included as covariate. Ill NCS. could not explained entirely by comorbid depression. are It is possible that this contributes to their performance reasoning measures. The role thinking needs studied further.
