Talk:Schizotypy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can I suggest that the wiki-link to Gordon Claridge is removed, for the simple reason that there is, as yet, no entry for Gordon Claridge in Wikipaedia? My other suggestions: Perhaps the first mention of psychoticism could also feature the first wiki-link to psychoticism? Perhaps the discussion of the factors that emerge when measurements of schizotypy are subject to factor analysis could be merged with some of the information that appears earlier in the article? I do think it important that at some stage, the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia are distinguished, and my sugggestion is that this section is moved earlier in the article. Cardamom

Someone recently added a factor analysis comment suggesting that positive and negative components are typically found, when the majority of studies find three factor solutions (positive, negative and disorganised) or four factor solutions (as mentioned already in the article as the factors that form the basis of the OLIFE schizotypy scale).

The concept of positive and negative symptoms is discussed in both the psychosis and schizophrenia articles, so I'm not sure it has to be covered here again.
