The association between sibling bullying and psychotic-like experiences among children age 11–16 years in China
2021, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Considering that sibling bullying is closely related to emotional, behavior problems and even mental illness, we conclude that sibling bullying like peer bullying may also be related to PLEs. Different types of bullying may associate with different subtypes of psychosis (Strauss et al., 2018). For example, verbal bullying was strongly associated with paranoia in Catone's study (Catone et al., 2017).
Markers of Psychosis Risk in the General Population
2020, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :The timing of cannabis exposure may also be a factor; earlier age of use reportedly increases risk of PS symptoms (38,41). Among environmental stressors, there are associations with trauma exposure (35,68), including childhood abuse (33) and other early adverse life experiences (49), including bullying (58,69,70), cybersexual harassment (71), separation from parents (36), and urbanicity (48). PS youths have impairment in overall (34,57,72), social (7), and occupational (7) function, especially for subtypes of PS symptoms (7,57).
Adverse childhood experiences and psychotic-like experiences are associated above and beyond shared correlates: Findings from the adolescent brain cognitive development study
2020, Schizophrenia ResearchCitation Excerpt :Associations with bullying are consistent with several previous studies, possibly due to bullying leading to distorted cognitions (i.e., mild delusional ideation or unusual beliefs) and increased suspiciousness (Jack and Egan, 2018). Other possibilities include that social deficits associated with PLEs make children more susceptible to bullying (Strauss et al., 2018) or perhaps that suspiciousness may lead to interpreting other children's behavior as bullying. The association with financial adversity supports several lines of research implicating a relationship between financial stress and lower socioeconomic status with PLEs (Mansueto and Faravelli, 2017), perhaps as a result of chronic stress (Burns et al., 2014).
