- Abstract
Introduction: Psychotic-like experiences index an increased risk for subsequent psychotic disorders. Childhood adversities are a well-established risk factors for psychotic-like experiences, however different contextual and personal factors may differentially mediate their effect on psychotic-like experiences, including different aspects of resilience. Objectives: In this study we propose a two-dimension model of resilience. Our aim is to address separately the mediational role of personal and contextual resilience factors between childhood adversity and PLE in a community sample. Methods: Five hundred University students completed an on-line questionnaire including the Resilience Scale for Adults, the 16-item version of the Prodromal Questionnaire and the Risky Family Questionnaire. Mediation was assessed using Structural EquationModelling with bootstrapping estimation of indirect effect. Results: Direct effect of Personal and Contextual resilience on Psychotic-like experiences were respectively -0.69 [-0.97, -0.41] (p<0.001) and -0.19 [-0.58, 0.20] (ns); indirect effects through personal and contextual resilience were respectively 0.03 [0.01, 0.04] (p<0.001) and 0.02 [-0.02, 0.06] (ns). Personal resilience mediated 27.4% of the total effect of childhood adversity on psychotic-like experiences. Conclusions: Personal resilience, but not contextual resilience, mediated the effect of Childhood Adversity on Psychotic-like experiences. Poor personal resilience may represent an individual risk factor that transmits the effect of childhood adversity on psychoticlike experiences, and could represent a central aspect of individualized prevention and treatment strategies.
