Editing Paranoia (section)

===Judgmental and cognitive biases===
Three main judgmental consequences have been identified:<ref name=Kramer94/>
*The sinister attribution error: This bias captures the tendency that social perceivers have to overattribute lack of trustworthiness to others.
*The overly personalistic construal of social interaction: Refers to the inclination that paranoid perceiver has to interpret others'  action in a disproportional self-referential way, increasing the belief that they are the target of others' thoughts and actions. A special kind of bias in the biased punctuation of social interaction, which entail an overperception of causal linking among independent events.
*The exaggerated perception of conspiracy: Refers to the disposition that the paranoid perceiver has to overattribute social coherence and coordination to others' actions.

Meta-analyses have confirmed that individuals with paranoia tend to jump to conclusions and are incorrigible in their judgements, even for delusion-neutral scenarios.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=McLean|first1=Benjamin F.|last2=Mattiske|first2=Julie K.|last3=Balzan|first3=Ryan P.|date=2017-03-01|title=Association of the Jumping to Conclusions and Evidence Integration Biases With Delusions in Psychosis: A Detailed Meta-analysis|journal=Schizophrenia Bulletin|volume=43|issue=2|pages=344–354|doi=10.1093/schbul/sbw056|issn=1745-1701|pmc=5605251|pmid=27169465}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Dudley|first1=Robert|last2=Taylor|first2=Peter|last3=Wickham|first3=Sophie|last4=Hutton|first4=Paul|date=2016|title=Psychosis, Delusions and the "Jumping to Conclusions" Reasoning Bias: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis|url=|journal=Schizophrenia Bulletin|volume=42|issue=3|pages=652–665|doi=10.1093/schbul/sbv150|issn=1745-1701|pmc=4838082|pmid=26519952}}</ref>
