- From the page: Dr Freeman said the results suggest that paranoia was a quite normal emotion: oeIn the past, only those with a severe mental illness were thought to experience paranoid thoughts, but now we know that this is simply not the case.'
Paranoid experiences were more common among people who were anxious or worried before starting the experiment, and among those with low self-esteem. 'Paranoid thinking is a topic of national discussion given increasing public attention to threats such as terrorism,' Dr Freeman said.
'It sometimes seems as if the one thing that unites the diverse peoples of the world is our fear of one another.
'Worries about other people are so common that they seem to be an essential - if unwelcome - part of what it means to be human.'
