In a paper just accepted at Schizophrenia Bulletin, @philcorlett.bsky.social and I, along with coauthors, explore the relationship between generalization and delusions. We find an asymmetry: delusionality tracks either over-generalizing causes or under-generalizing their absence. 1/3
This is a diagram of the effect of delusionality on peak shift behaviors. For people with high delusionality, regions that could potentially elicit a positive response are more likely to, and regions that could potentially elicit a negative response are less likely to.

@xphilosopher.bsky.social and I tried to study what beliefs do (or at least, what people think they do). Across hundreds of participant generated beliefs and first/third party ratings, we found they express identity and/or represent facts, in the pattern described in this post. 1/

Recently investigated what it means for a belief to represent identity with @xphilosopher.bsky.social. It's seemingly unrelated to whether the belief is subjective! See where beliefs landed on identity (symbolic) and subjectivity: plotly.com/~m.meyer/6/ Here's the paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...
