Abstract

In recent years an increasing interest in the hallucinatory experiences and its phenomenology is taken into consideration. The aim of this study was the prediction of predisposition to hallucinations based on positive and negative schizotypy. The current study was conducted in descriptive research context. A group of 312 normal participants (88 male (224 female) from university students took part in this research. Participants answered to Launay-Slade Hallucinations (LSHS), and Chapmans psychosis proneness Scales. Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. All of the schizotypy subscales including magical ideation, perceptual aberration physical and social anhedonia, showed correlation with predisposition to hallucinations., but results indicated that magical ideation and perceptual aberration as positive schizotypy was suitable predictor towards predisposition to hallucinations. Based on results the relationships of predisposition to hallucinations and positive schizotypy were discussed in light of psychosis-proneness continuum.
