An exploratory network analysis to investigate schizotypy's structure using the 'Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale' and 'Oxford-Liverpool Inventory' in a healthy cohort.

ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders and schizotypy share traits across positive, negative, and disorganised domains. Instruments like the Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale (MSS) and the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory (O-LIFE) offer nuanced perspectives on schizotypy, including its expression as a personality trait and its potential clinical outcomes. This study investigates the structure of schizotypy using exploratory graph analysis (EGA) to analyse how the MSS and O-LIFE operationalise the construct in the same sample of German speakers. This approach allows comparison of their factorial structures from both statistical and clinical perspectives, while also assessing cross-cultural validity. 1059 German-speaking, healthy participants completed the MSS and O-LIFE questionnaires. EGA was conducte
