Cognitive processes and pathways between social isolation, loneliness, and paranoia: findings from a cross-lagged network analysis of population-based data
Overview
This study uses cross-lagged network analysis on population data to examine how social isolation and loneliness relate to paranoia, focusing on the role of cognitive mechanisms. It finds that loneliness is bidirectionally associated with paranoid thoughts and mediates the link between social disconnection and paranoia, whereas social isolation influences paranoia primarily through its effect on loneliness.
