The relationship between A-B score, Field dependency (EFT), and paranoid-nonparanoid status in 24 male acute psychiatric inpatients was explored.

Contrary to our hypotheses, nonparanoids were significantly more B than paranoids and controls. The only difference between paranoids and controls was that paranoids were less feeling reactive. The results were interpreted in terms of the "normality= of the conceptually oriented paranoid S.
