Thoughts Falling Apart: Disorganized Schizotypy Specifically Predicts Both Psychotic- and Stress-Reactivity in Daily Life. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Schizotypal personality traits, such as unusual experiences, odd beliefs, or social anhedonia, predict psychotic‐like experiences (PLEs) and heightened stress‐reactivity in daily life. Yet, in previous studies, stressor appraisal, but not exposure, was used to predict stress‐reactivity, which might be a consequence of behavioral ...

The Multidimensionality of Schizotypy [PDF]
We present an overview of self-report scales for measuring schizotypy and a review of factor-analytical studies of these scales. These studies show that schizotypy is a multidimensional construct consisting of three or four factors. Positive Schizotypy, Negative Schizotypy, Nonconformity, and possibly Social Anxiety/Cognitive Disorganization.

Modelling the longitudinal associations between schizotypy and aberrant salience: The role of mentalization and attachment. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives This study investigates the role of mentalization and attachment in the development of schizotypy into aberrant salience. Specifically, we examine how disruptions in these socio‐cognitive capacities interact with multidimensional schizotypy to influence self‐fragmentation, emotional instability and social detachment.
