    Antecedentes: la esquizotipia es un constructo multidimensional que incluye las dimensiones positiva, negativa y de desorganización cognitiva. El modelo de esquizotipia saludable sugiere que los rasgos esquizotípicos positivos podrían estar asociados con un mejor funcionamiento psicológico. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar si los rasgos esquizotípicos se asociaban con el bienestar subjetivo y psicológico, y si las experiencias psicóticas atenuadas afectaban al bienestar. Método: en el estudio participaron 200 adultos españoles (edad media = 34.80, S.D. = 14.20). Resultados: los rasgos esquizotípicos negativos se asociaron con bajo bienestar y los positivos con mayor bienestar. Los individuos con experiencias psicóticas atenuadas obtuvieron puntuaciones más bajas en bienestar psicológico que las personas sin estas experiencias. Conclusiones: el estudio sugiere que ciertos rasgos positivos de la esquizotipia pueden ser beneficiosos para el bienestar, mientras que otros pueden perjudicarlo.

    Background: Schizotypy is a multidimensional construct that includes positive, negative, and disorganized dimensions. The healthy schizotypal model suggests that positive schizotypal features could be associated with better psychological functioning. The aim of this study was to analyze whether schizotypal features are associated with subjective and psychological well-being, and consider whether psychotic-like experiences affect well-being. Method: These relationships were investigated in two hundred non-clinical Spanish adults (mean age = 34.80, S.D. = 14.20). Results: Negative schizotypal features were associated with lower well-being, whereas positive schizotypal features were related with greater well-being. Individuals with subclinical psychotic experiences scored lower for psychological well-being than individuals without these experiences. Conclusions: The study suggests that some positive features may be beneficial for well-being while others are associated with lower well-being.
