“…Additionally, trauma exposure has been associated with schizotypal personality features in non‐clinical populations (Sheinbaum, Kwapil, & Barrantes‐Vidal, ; Velikonja, Fisher, Mason, & Johnson, ). While there has been an increasing interest in understanding the role of trauma in the cognitive deficits of psychotic disorders (Green, Chia, et al ., ; Lysaker, Meyer, Evans, & Marks, ; McCabe, Maloney, Stain, Loughland, & Carr, ; Shannon et al ., ), there has been relatively little investigation of associations between childhood trauma exposure and specifically social cognitive, or schizotypal traits (Mrizak et al ., 2016b; Russo et al ., ; Schurhoff et al ., ). Understanding whether associations exist between early life adversity and these illness‐related factors may assist to determine customized treatments for trauma‐exposed cases; and whether any such associations differ according to diagnosis of SZ or BD was addressed in this study.…”
