We’re excited to share that two of our papers have been published in the Schizophrenia Bulletin Special Issue ‘Neuroscience of Schizotypy’!
In these studies, we applied—for the first time—the Differential Susceptibility hypothesis to better understand the psychosis phenotype.
🔍 Paper 1
In this study, we examined how childhood adversity interacts with individual differences in environmental sensitivity to shape the development of psychotic experiences.

📱 Paper 2
Using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM), we investigated how daily-life events dynamically influence psychotic symptoms, again highlighting the moderating role of environmental sensitivity.

🧠 These findings contribute to a more nuanced, person-centered understanding of psychosis, moving beyond traditional “risk-only” frameworks. By incorporating models of sensitivity and context, we aim to expand how we conceptualize vulnerability and resilience in mental health.
We’re deeply grateful to all our collaborators who made this work possible, and we look forward to continuing this line of research!
