摘要：AbstractIn the article the problem of cognitive activity is discussed. It is associated with a decreased sensitivity to contradictions. The authors suggest the interpretation of the phenomenon of “wishful thinking”. This phenomenon can be observed among patients with personality disorders. For this purpose the method of “Contradictory statements” has been developed, which consists of proverbs and aphorisms on the subject of morality and human behavior regulation. In order to eliminate the influence of the general factor of intellectual development, in conjunction with established methodology tested the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The study results have shown that patients with histrionic (hysterical) personality disorder tend to ignore the contradictions in their judgments. One of the operational aspects of “wishful thinking” phenomenon associated with decreased sensitivity to contradictions and considered as specific cognitive style of patients with HPD.
