![]() After the distribution of scores among all the participants was assessed, the participants who matched the criteria (having scores in the highest %25 portion or having scores in the lowest %25 portion of the total scores) were invited to participate in the experimental tasks in a laboratory. The replies (a total of 28 replies) which were filled erroneously were eliminated. There were 190 people who filled the scale. The participants took the inventory online. The degree of delusional ideation profiles of the healthy individuals was assessed by the 21-item version of the Peters Delusional Inventory ( Peters et al., 1999) prior to the experimental tasks. Participants of this study participated with informed, voluntary, and written consent. Verdoux and van Os (2002) found 10% of the people without any psychiatric disorders endorsed the item of PDI which states they think there is a conspiracy against them. (2008), more than 33% of the people in the control group (without psychotic disorders) favored seven or more items on Peters Delusional Inventory (PDI) a questionnaire used for measuring DLE in healthy groups. A survey which obtained data from a large part of Australian population showed that more than 11% of the people marked one or more items related to experiences which are considered delusion-like ( Scott et al., 2005). The continuous nature of the psychosis makes it possible to observe psychotic experiences in healthy individuals who are in the middle of the completely healthy and clinically psychotic ends of the spectrum ( Loch et al., 2011). Therefore, they can be measured and found in the general population without any psychotic disorders. Delusion-like experiences (DLE) are one of these lower states of experiences on the psychotic spectrum below the threshold of clinical delusions. ![]() Psychotic-like experiences refer to a lower state of psychosis which cannot be considered as a form of mental illness because its expressions are established in a lower level below the threshold of the clinical phenomenon ( van Os et al., 2008). A high level of delusion-like experiences predisposes vulnerability for increasing pattern seeking behavior under lack of control manipulation. Participants who were manipulated to lack control produced more false positive recognition than the control group. Results showed participants with delusion-like experiences produced more illusory pattern perception and false positive recognition for visually ambiguous stimuli. Since no direct association between DLE and illusory pattern perception has been established, in this study we investigated the relationship between delusion-like experiences and illusory pattern perception for images with visual noise in a condition in which the participants were manipulated to lack control while controlling for another assumption which is jumping to conclusions bias on a bead task is predicted by delusion-like experiences. Delusion-like experiences include some of the behaviors related to irrational beliefs. A common assumption is illusory pattern perception increases with an increasing feeling of lack of control. ![]() Previous research has provided evidence for a relationship between illusory pattern perception and irrational beliefs.
