    En este trabajo se estudian sesgos cognitivos atribucionales en pacientes delirantes. Para analizar el estilo atribucional, se emplean tareas de evaluación de razonamiento causal explícitas (IPSAQ) e implícitas (PIT) en una muestra de 40 pacientes delirantes (19 paranoides y 21 no paranoides). Los resultados indican la presencia de sesgos atribucionales (i.e. externalizante y personalizante) en pacientes delirantes con independencia del tipo de delirio cuando se emplea una medida de evaluación explícita. Sin embargo, el patrón atribucional implícito de los pacientes con delirios paranoides es diferente al mostrado por los pacientes no paranoides. Se discuten las implicaciones teóricas y clínicas de estos hallazgos.

    In this paper the presence of atributional cognitive biases in delusional patients is studied. Explicit (IPSAQ) and implicit (PIT) attributional measures have been used to analyze the attributional style in a sample of 40 delusional patients (19 paranoid patients and 21 non paranoid patients). The results showed the presence of attributional biases (i.e. externalizing and personalizing) independently of the delusional content when an explicit task was used. Compared to non paranoid patients, the paranoid group showed a different attributional style when it was assessed through an implicit task. Theoretical and clinical implications of the results are discussed.
