In several prior studies, self-reported schizotypy has been documented to vary by gender, age, race/ethnicity, and measures of social engagement. In this study, undergraduate students participated in an online survey, and data from 825 students were used to examine sociodemographic characteristics and past mental health treatment history as predictors of 6 schizotypy measures. History of mental health treatment was a significant independent predictor of paranoid, cognitive-perceptual, and interpersonal schizotypy; race, relationship status, and mental health treatment history were significant independent predictors of disorganized schizotypy; race was an independent significant predictor of perceptual aberrations; and race and gender were significant independent predictors of social anhedonia. These results suggest that basic demographics, relationship status, and history of mental health treatment may be important variables to consider in studies of schizotypy. Furthermore, differences across studies could be driven by race/ethnicity and cultural factors that may affect the reporting of unusual or distorted perceptions.
在之前的几项研究中，自我报告的精神分裂症样特质已被证明会因性别、年龄、种族/民族以及社会参与度的衡量指标而有所不同。在本研究中，本科生参与了一项在线调查，来自825名学生的数据被用于检验社会人口学特征和过去的心理健康治疗史作为六种精神分裂症样特质测量指标的预测因素。心理健康治疗史是偏执、认知-感知和人际精神分裂症样特质的显著独立预测因素；种族、恋爱状况和心理健康治疗史是紊乱型精神分裂症样特质的显著独立预测因素；种族是感知异常的独立显著预测因素；种族和性别是社交快感缺乏的显著独立预测因素。这些结果表明，基本人口统计学特征、恋爱状况和心理健康治疗史可能是精神分裂症样特质研究中需要考虑的重要变量。此外，不同研究之间的差异可能由种族/民族和文化因素驱动，这些因素可能会影响对异常或扭曲感知的报告。
