Schizotypal traits and their relation to rejection sensitivity in the general population: the mediation by quality of life, agreeableness and neuroticism

Schizotypy is a latent personality organisation reflecting a putative liability for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (Meehl,  1962). Schizotypy has several possible phenotypic expressions, namely schizotypal traits (at a behavioural level), schizotypal personality disorder, and psychosis (at sub-clinical and clinical levels, respectively) that are inter-related, but not necessarily interchangeable (Lenzenweger, 2010; Lin scott et al., in press). According to this definition, schizotypy represents a theoretical construct and aetiological model of psychosis (Fonseca-Pedrero et al., 2018).
