lüll The multidimensionality of schizotypy Vollema MG; van den Bosch RJSchizophr Bull 1995[]; 21 (1): 19-31We 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. Clinical and external validation studies provide support for the construct validity of the Positive Schizotypy and Negative Schizotypy factors, but as yet fail to support the Nonconformity and Social Anxiety/Cognitive Disorganization factors. In accordance with this multidimensional structure, the scales for measuring schizotypy can be classified as factor-specific scales. We consider the striking similarities between the multidimensionality of schizotypal traits and the multidimensionality of schizophrenic symptoms. We also look at the similarities and differences between schizotypy and normal personality traits. Some practical and theoretical implications of these relationships are discussed.|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Factor Analysis, Statistical[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Personality Inventory/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Psychometrics[MESH]|Reproducibility of Results[MESH]|Schizophrenia/classification/diagnosis[MESH]|Schizophrenic Psychology[MESH]|Schizotypal Personality Disorder/classification/*diagnosis/psychology[MESH] |
