Studies have found higher levels of alexithymia in schizophrenic subjects relative to controls, with an overall higher level of emotional arousal and social withdrawal. The present study is an extension of this research to the assessment of schizotypy in a nonclinical sample. Seventy-two undergraduate students (40 female; 21.6 +/- 6.38 years) were recruited to participate in this study. Consistent with earlier research, our results show that both schizotypy and alexithymia are associated with relatively poor socioemotional functioning across the variables of depression, anxiety, social functioning, and overall quality of life. Further, our results show that the significant associations found between alexithymia and these 4 outcome variables was predicated on shared variance with schizotypy. When both alexithymia and schizotypy were regressed onto these variables as independent predictors, the contribution of alexithymia was consistently nonsignificant. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of hypothesized substrates of alexithymia.
