Schizotypal Traits, Psychopathology, and Reflective Functioning Impairments During Adolescence: A Bayesian Network Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New theoretical and measurement models related to Bayesian networks can usefully be implemented to enrich our understanding of psychosis risk. The present study aims to explore, using a directed acyclic graph (DAG), the putative causal relationship within schizotypal facets, as well as between schizotypal dimensions, psychopathology, and reflective functioning (RF) impairments, in a representative sample of non-clinical adolescents.

Study design

Study results

Schizotypal traits were positively assoc
