Abstract

Research has shown that various environmental factors predict schizotypy. This study aimed to assess the association of a range of demographic, psycho-social and experiential factors with schizotypy, based on a sample of 258 university students. Results showed that age, gender, cannabis use, traumatic experience and life satisfaction significantly predicted overall schizotypy. However, effects varied across schizotypy subdimensions. The models that best predicted schizotypy differed in accordance with the unique combination of facets of each subdimension. Differential effects of the predictors in this study continue to validate dimensional representations of the schizotypal construct.
