Abstract Objective The present study aimed to examine facial emotion recognition in a sample from the general population with elevated schizotypal traits, as defined by four-factor model of schizotypy, and association dimensions psychological well-being. Method Two hundred thirty-eight participants were allocated into four groups one control group. Following cross-sectional design, was assessed computerized task that included images Radboud Faces Database, traits measured Schizotypal...
Abstract We examined the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and endorsement of honour. studied SES‐honour link in 5 studies ( N = 13,635) with participants recruited different world regions (the Mediterranean MENA, East Asian, South‐East Anglo‐Western regions) using measures that tap into various facets Findings from these revealed individuals who subjectively perceived themselves as belonging to a higher (vs. lower) SES endorsed honour more strongly (i.e. defence family values...
Background. The revised Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) measures Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality. average effects individual temperament character traits have been associated with schizotypy impaired regulation affect cognition. We extended prior research by testing predictions about the association specific multidimensional configurations on schizotypy, balance, self-perceived cognitive functioning. Method. A well-educated sample native Greeks (N = 483),...
Introduction: Studies assessing the effects of schizotypal dimensions (i.e., positive, negative, and disorganized) on cognitive functions have yielded mixed findings. In present study, we administered an extensive battery tasks to a community sample defined according more analytical four-factor model, whereby positive schizotypy is further divided into cognitive–perceptual paranoid. Method: Two hundred healthy participants were assessed for with Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire;...
People's psychological tendencies are attuned to their sociocultural context and culture-specific ways of being, feeling, thinking believed assist individuals in successfully navigating environment. Supporting this idea, a stronger "fit" with one's cultural environment has often been linked positive outcomes. The current research expands the cultural, conceptual, methodological space fit by exploring link between well-being honor, central driver social behavior Mediterranean region.
The aim of the study was to compare neurocognitive profile unaffected first-degree relatives schizophrenia patients with control individuals, controlling for different schizotypal traits.One hundred and fifteen adult schizophrenia-spectrum 122 controls were tested schizotypy Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire. They also underwent a thorough assessment range tasks covering several aspects executive functioning. Between-group differences in cognition examined first multivariate analysis...
Although there is ample evidence from cross-sectional studies indicating cognitive deficits in high schizotypal individuals that resemble the profile of schizophrenia-spectrum patients, still lack by longitudinal/follow-up studies. The present study included assessments traits and a wide range functions at two time points (baseline 4-years assessments) order to examine (a) their stability over time, (b) predictive value baseline schizotypy on cognition follow-up (c) differences between...
Introduction: According to the fully-dimensional approach, schizotypy is a personality trait present in population continuous manner while quasi-dimensional approach emphasises its extreme presentations. In this study we examined relationship between sensorimotor gating, core risk-index of schizophrenia-spectrum, and four schizotypal factors dimensional-wise dichotomising-wise approach.Methods: Two-hundred eighty-three participants were assessed with Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire...
Cognitive impairment (CI) is one of the most frequent neuropsychiatric manifestations systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Given that extensive neuropsychological testing not always feasible in routine clinical practice, brief cognitive screening tools are desirable. The aim this study was to evaluate Montreal Assessment (MoCA) as a tool for CI SLE.Consecutive SLE patients followed at single centre were evaluated using MoCA and an test battery (NPT), including Digits Forward Backwards, Rey...
A critical link between schizotypy and schizophrenia is impoverished cognitive functioning. In the majority of studies, though: (1) cognition examined with standard neuropsychological tasks; (2) high‐schizotypal individuals are defined according to criteria applied in respective study sample. Taking these considerations into account, aims present were examine: differences four pre‐defined, normative criteria, schizotypal (paranoid, negative, disorganized cognitive‐perceptual) one control...
Abstract Objective: To examine cold (based on logical reasoning) versus hot (having emotional components) executive function processes in groups with high individual schizotypal traits. Method: Two-hundred and forty-seven participants were administered the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire allocated into (cognitive-perceptual, paranoid, negative, disorganized) or control according to pre-specified criteria. Participants also a battery of tasks examining working memory, complex selective...
Although Positive (PS) and Negative Schizotypy (NS) are considered distinct entities, prefrontal dysfunction seems to be a common underlying mechanism. According recent evidence, PS can divided into Paranoid (ParS) Cognitive-Perceptual (CPS). To explore NS', ParS' CPS' profiles of function/psychopathology/stressful childhood experiences. examine associations between NS, ParS CPS with the above phenotype in community sample. 140 healthy adults completed Schizotypal-Personality Questionnaire...
Cloninger’s biopsychological model for personality distinguishes between Temperament [Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance (HA), Reward Dependence (RD), Persistence (PS)], and Character [Self-Directedness (SD), Cooperativeness (CO), Self-Transcendence (ST)] traits. Cloninger has also described three sets of complex interactions among these traits, which can be summarized as a linked network cubes. Within each cube, the different combinations sub-dimensions formulate multidimensional profiles that...

<h3>Objective</h3> Schizotypy may be a forerunner of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD). In this study we examined for the first time association between schizotypy and prefrontal function, quality life (QoL) general psychopathology (GenPsych) in 27 healthy subjects with no family history SSD 50 unaffected first-degree relatives patients, taking into consideration clinical profile their affected relative. <h3>Method</h3> Participants completed Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire,...
OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia can be classified into familial and sporadic, according to the genetic loading carried. The comparison of unaffected relatives with (“multiplex”) vs. sporadic (“simplex”) background, has revealed discrepant findings on cognitive endophenotypes disorder, possibly because schizotypal traits were not accounted for. present study aimed examine differences in performance between multiplex simplex schizophrenia patients control individuals, taking consideration effects...
