This study examined whether emotion processing traits and task performance are associated with positive schizotypy. Positive schizotypy individuals (n = 34, assessed with the Magical Ideation and Perceptual Aberration Scales) reported greater attention to emotions but less emotional clarity than controls (n 56). Moreover, a significantly larger percentage of the schizotypy group was classified as emotionally overwhelmed. Positive schizotypy individuals also exhibited absent affective priming and increased incongruent errors at a short stimulus onset asynchrony and an absence of an effect of emotion on recognition memory,,but an increased memory response,bias for negative words. Results could not be accounted for by level of neuroticism or current mood. these results suggest that positive schizotypy is associated with the processing of emotional information.
