“…This is exacerbated by the fact that our sample comprises mainly students exhibiting a reasonably high religious affinity (certainly above that of other UK college students) suggesting that a more diverse sample may be required before we can generalize these findings. Furthermore, as pointed out by Maltby et al (2000) the relationship between spirituality and schizotypy might be also gender-specific. The aspect might be also considered in future studies.…”

These findings challenge the previous literature based on one-dimensional subjective well being measures which have found only a negative relationship. However, the positive association between connectedness and cognitiveperceptual aspects of schizotypy raises import questions about the possible benefit of certain types of schizotypal experience.

“…One of the ndings, however, from the adult studies is that the association between religiosity and schizotypy seems to be different between men and women (e.g. Maltby et al, 2000). For this reason, we also conducted the above analysis separately for males and females for those aged 13-15 and 17-18.…”

“…An important methodological issue therefore is the measure of religiosity we chose to use, the Francis scale. Maltby et al (2000) used measures of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity, nding that whereas intrinsic religiosity was associated with better psychological adjustment, extrinsic religiosity was associated with poorer psychological adjustment. The Francis scale, although more a measure of intrinsic than extrinsic religiosity , was not designed to measure either of these aspects of religiosity, and it is possible that the Francis scale confounds the two aspects of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity.…”

“…However, they conducted a large number of analysis and so these data must be treated with caution. Maltby et al (2000) found that extrinsic-social religiosity was associated with paranoia and suspiciousness in women but not in men. Due to the paucity of studies and the use of different measures no clear generalizations can yet be made regarding the relationship of religiosity to the other schizotypal traits.…”

“…The explanation often put forward for these data is that those lower on psychoticism are thought to condition more easily than those high on psychoticism (Beyts et al, 1983) and so are more likely to develop tender minded social attitudes, such as a favourable attitude toward Christianity (Eysenck, 1975(Eysenck, , 1976. Some further evidence for the negative association between religiosity and borderline traits has subsequently been reported (Maltby et al, 2000).…”

In the present study we investigated the association between religiosity and schizotypy in teenagers. The Francis Scale of Attitude towards Christianity (Francis & Stubbs, 1987) and the Multidimensional Schizotypal Traits Questionnaire (Rawlings & MacFarlane 1994) were completed by 492 school pupils ranging in age from 13 to 18. It was found that higher scores on the Francis scale were associated with higher scores on the perceptual aberration subscale and lower scores on the impulsive nonconformity and magical ideation subscales. However, when the analysis was repeated for girls and boys separately we found that the association with magical ideation was unique to boys and the association with impulsive nonconformity was unique to girls. Certain associations seem to be sex speci c. Also, although our data suggest that in some respects religiosity might be an index of psychosis proneness, in other respects it would seem that religiosity is associated with psychological well-being.
