Psychiatric framing affects positive but not negative schizotypy scores in psychology and medical students

Schizotypy is a multidimensional personality construct that is argued by many to lie on a continuum, with full-blown psychosis representing the extreme end (Claridge& Birchall, 1978; Meehl, 1962; Verdoux& van Os, 2002). Reflecting patient symptoms, schizotypy dimensions consistently separate positive (magical ideation, unusual perceptual experiences) and negative (e.g. social and physical anhedonia, social withdrawal) schizotypy (Chan  et al., 2016; Ettinger et al., 2014; Kwapil, et al., 2008; Lenzenweger, 2006).
