    abstract = "As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly influential in reasoning tasks, ensuring their trustworthiness and introspective self-awareness is critical. This research introduces the Think-Solve-Verify (TSV) framework, an innovative strategy tailored to explore LLMs{'} trustworthiness, introspective self-awareness, and collaborative reasoning. This method accentuates a model{'}s capability to construct introspective reasoning processes from answers and ensure their trustworthiness. The reasoning with TSV consistently performs at or near the top across the majority of datasets with a single interaction with LLM. Moreover, we refine the voting process of self-consistency within the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) approach, leading to notable accuracy enhancements. In our evaluations, this approach improved performance from 67.3{\%} to 72.8{\%} on the AQuA dataset. Furthermore, we delve into the model{'}s ability to explain the given answers, highlighting the significance of discerning genuine comprehension from mere guesswork.",
