Abstract:
Theory of Mind (ToM) impairment is frequently observed in schizophrenia and these impairments are hypothesized to play a role in the etiology and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. As with many features of schizophrenia, ToM impairment may represent a vulnerability factor which may be present among individuals with schizotypal traits. Previous investigations of ToM in schizotypy have yielded mixed results. Using a dimensional approach, the present study explored the relationship between schizotypal traits, neurocognition, ToM, and social functioning in a sample of undergraduate students from a mid western university.
Contrary to predictions, no associations between schizotypy and neurocognition were found. Likewise, schizotypal traits were not associated with impaired ToM. Rather, schizotypal traits were associated with enhanced performance on a ToM task which involved detection of ironic statements. Strong relationships emerged between schizotypy, depression and social functioning impairments. The findings of the current study are interpreted in the context of the current schizotypy literature, and methodological issues are discussed.
