Results:The average and standard deviation of meta-cognitive beliefs were x=74/54, SD=14/32 respectively, the average and standard deviation of mild neurological soft symptoms were x=19/93, SD=8/26 respectively, the average and standard deviation of positive symptoms were x=49/55, SD=7/27 respectively, and the average and standard deviation of negative symptoms were x=46/76, SD=6/34 respectively. Meta-cognitive beliefs with positive symptoms (R=0.41) and negative symptoms (R=0.33) has a meaningful positive correlation (p <% 1) but any meaningful relation between mild neurological symptoms and positive and negative symptoms was not found. Conclusions:The results of this study indicated that Meta cognitive beliefs with positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia have a meaningful relation, but there is no relation between the weak neurological symptoms and positive and negative symptoms.
