Objective: Firstly, the study aimed to determine the effect of paranoid ideation on the prediction of siege mentality among early adults. Secondly, the study examined the effect of paranoid thoughts on the prediction of siege mentality among early adults. Thirdly, the study assessed the moderating effect of paranoid thoughts in the relationship between paranoid ideation and siege mentality among early adults.
Methods: According to the criteria, the age ranged from 17 to 45 years which refers to early adults. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Sargodha, Pakistan, comprising of 300 participants. The present study was carried out from October 2017 to October 2018. Data was collected by administering General Siege Mentality Questionnaire, Green et al Thought Questionnaire and Paranoia Questionnaire. SPSS-20 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used for data analysis.
Results: A total sample of 300 adults participated in the study. The correlation analysis confirmed that the paranoid ideation had positive correlation with siege mentality (p<0.01). Paranoid thoughts had positive correlation with siege mentality (p<0.01). Thus the paranoid ideation and paranoid thoughts are positive predictors of siege mentality.
