The collected data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multivariate regression analysis. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between components personality organization and object relations with interpretation bias (P <0.01). The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis in the final step also revealed that 55.5% of the variance of interpretive bias is explained by the components of reality testing, incompetence, alienation and insecure attachment.
