It has become widely accepted that the psychotic disorders are endpoints of atypical developmental trajectories indexed by abnormal emotional and cognitive development early in life. However, the role of environmental factors in determining these tra... Read More about Social predictors of psychotic experiences: Specificity and psychological mechanisms.

A new spin on the Wheel of Fortune: Priming of action-authorship judgements and relation to psychosis-like experiences. (2008)
Journal Article

The proposal that there is an illusion of conscious will has been supported by findings that priming of stimulus location in a task requiring judgements of action-authorship can enhance participants’ experience of agency. We attempted to replicate fi... Read More about A new spin on the Wheel of Fortune: Priming of action-authorship judgements and relation to psychosis-like experiences..

Thought suppression and persecutory delusion-like beliefs in a non-clinical sample. (2008)
Journal Article

Introduction. Thought suppression may play a role in the formation and/or maintenance of persecutory delusions, although this possibility has not yet been empirically studied. We investigated thought suppression levels in relation to the presence of... Read More about Thought suppression and persecutory delusion-like beliefs in a non-clinical sample..

Theory of mind, schizotypy, and persecutory ideation in young adults. (2008)
Journal Article
Fernyhough, C., Jones, S., Whittle, C., Waterhouse, J., & Bentall, R. (2008). Theory of mind, schizotypy, and persecutory ideation in young adults. Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 13(3), 233-249. https://doi.org/10.1080/13546800801936516

Introduction. Previous studies of the relation between theory of mind (ToM) and schizotypy have suggested that ToM deficits may be associated with positive signs (e.g., hallucination- and delusion-like experiences). Good theoretical reasons exist to... Read More about Theory of mind, schizotypy, and persecutory ideation in young adults..

Attachment dimensions and schizotypy in a non-clinical sample. (2008)
Journal Article
Meins, E., Jones, S., Fernyhough, C., Hurndall, S., & Koronis, P. (2008). Attachment dimensions and schizotypy in a non-clinical sample. Personality and Individual Differences, 44(4), 1000-1011. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2007.10.026

Attachment has been proposed to relate to adult psychopathology, although strong evidence for this relation has not been documented. This study investigated peer attachment and parental bonding in relation to schizotypy in healthy adults (N = 154). P...

A message in the medium? Assessing the reliability of psychopathology e-questionnaires. (2008)
Journal Article

Internet-based questionnaires (e-questionnaires) have become widely used in psychopathology research, but there is currently little evidence on their reliability as compared with pen-and-paper equivalents. Data from separate samples of young adults c... Read More about A message in the medium? Assessing the reliability of psychopathology e-questionnaires..
