Abstract
The jumping to conclusions (JTC) bias is the tendency to make immediate decisions based on little information. There are few studies that have investigated the relationship between JTC and frontal lobe function. We examined the association between JTC and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale in individuals with schizophrenia. In total, 50 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and 50 healthy control individuals were administered the beads task. Individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia were assessed using the FAB, BPRS, and GAF. There was a significant negative correlation between JTC and the negative symptoms of the BPRS (rs=-.368, p=.008). There was a significant positive correlation between JTC and the Go/No-Go task of the FAB (rs=.319, p=.026), and the GAF (rs=.433, p=.002). JTC in individuals with schizophrenia may be categorized according to several causes, including negative symptoms and poor response inhibition.
