Abstract

The relationship between personality and Delusional Disorder in still debated. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of personality features and emotional dispositions on the proneness to delusional beliefs, through the lens of a dimensional approach. 91 outpatients were administered the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders, the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory. Delusion proneness was positively related to the "Hiding the Self" domain of narcissistic vulnerability and to paranoid traits and negatively related to "Positive Affect". Paranoid traits and "Hiding the Self" significantly interacted in influencing delusion ideation. These data suggest that proneness to delusion depends, at least in part, on a complex interplay between specific emotional and paranoid dispositions within personality.
