Summary
This study aims to understand why Black Americans often report higher levels of paranoia than White Americans, even without a mental health diagnosis. Researchers will use an online guided imagery task to see if race-related stress triggers paranoia in 480 Black American participants. The findings could help improve how mental health professionals measure and understand paranoia across different groups.
