RESUMO
Theory and research suggest that schizotypy is a personality construct characterized by self-regulatory problems and that self-talk serves a variety of self-regulatory functions. In this study, undergraduates (N = 379) completed multidimensional measures of schizotypy and self-talk. Results provided strong support for a greater self-regulatory focus hypothesis, with positive and disorganized schizotypy factors positively and significantly correlated with self-talk factors, but negative schizotypy factors unrelated to self-talk frequency. We discuss implications of these findings for schizotypy and self-talk theory and research.
