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.

Unravelling Distress in Psychotic-Like Experiences: A Systematic Review of Non-Clinical Populations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Psychotic‐like experiences (PLEs) are subthreshold psychotic phenomena that occur along the psychosis continuum and are frequently accompanied by distress. However, the factors underlying distress in individuals reporting PLEs—particularly within non‐clinical populations—remain insufficiently understood.

Empirical evidence suggests that schizotypy is a useful construct for analyzing and understanding psychotic disorders. However, several issues remain to be resolved.This selective, critical review, addresses some questions and limitations, and discusses future directions of work.First, we present a conceptual outline and discuss the evidence from ...

Analysis of Task Demand Effects on Visual and Auditory Mismatch Negativity (MMN) Across Autistic and Schizotypal Traits. [PDF]
Task difficulty reduced mismatch negativity (MMN) amplitude across auditory and visual modalities. Autistic traits showed modality and difficulty‐specific patterns: communication difficulties related to smaller auditory MMN in the easy task, while restricted interests/detail orientation related to larger visual MMN in the difficult task.

Mentalizing under stress and psychotic experiences: An experience sampling study. [PDF]
Abstract Aim Theoretical models identify stress‐induced transient disruptions in the capacity to mentalize as a risk marker for psychosis yet there is little research that takes into account the context dependence of mentalizing and psychotic processes.

Aberrant Salience Across Levels of Processing in Positive and Negative Schizotypy
Schizotypy is a multidimensional construct conceptualized as the expression of the underlying vulnerability for schizophrenia. Certain traits of positive schizotypy, such as odd beliefs, unusual perceptual experiences, suspiciousness, and referential ...

Can an experimental white noise task assess psychosis vulnerability in adult healthy controls? [PDF]
This is an extension of a paper published earlier. We investigated the association between the tendency to detect speech illusion in random noise and levels of positive schizotypy in a sample of 185 adult healthy controls.Subclinical positive, negative ...
