Dimensions of psychopathology associated with psychotic-like experiences: Findings from the network analysis in a nonclinical sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are associated with a variety of psychopathological symptoms. However, it remains unknown which dimensions of psychopathology are most closely related to the occurrence of PLEs. In this study, we aimed to analyze the association of PLEs with various domains of psychopathology.

Methods

A total of 1100 nonclinical adults (aged 18-35 years, 51.4% females) with a negative history of psychiatric treatment were surveyed. Assessment of psychopathology was performed using self-reports. Symptoms associated with PLEs were explored as continuous variables and based on clinically relevant thresholds using two separate network analyses.

Results

In both network analyses, PLEs were directly connected to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
