Aim Phenomena within the psychosis continuum that varies in frequency/duration/intensity have been increasingly identified. Different terms describe these phenomena, however there is no standardization within the terminology. This review evaluated the definitions and assessment tools of seven terms – (i) ‘psychotic experiences’; (ii) ‘psychotic‐like experiences’; (iii) ‘psychotic‐like symptoms’; (iv) ‘attenuated psychotic symptoms’; (v) ‘prodromal psychotic symptoms’; (vi) ‘psychotic symptomatology’; and (vii) ‘psychotic symptoms’. Methods EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CINAHL were searched during February–March 2019. Inclusion criteria included 1989–2019, full text, human, and English. Papers with no explicit definition or assessment tool, duplicates, conference abstracts, systematic reviews, meta‐analyses, or no access were excluded. Results A total of 2238 papers were identified and of these, 627 were included. Definitions and assessment tools varied, but some trends were found. Psychotic experiences and psychotic‐like experiences were transient and mild, found in the general population and those at‐risk. Psychotic‐like symptoms were subthreshold and among at‐risk populations and non‐psychotic mental disorders. Attenuated psychotic symptoms were subthreshold but associated with distress, risk, and help‐seeking. Prodromal psychotic symptoms referred to the prodrome of psychotic disorders. Psychotic symptomatology included delusions and hallucinations within psychotic disorders. Psychotic symptoms was the broadest term, encompassing a range of populations but most commonly involving hallucinations, delusions, thought disorder, and disorganization. Discussion A model for conceptualizing the required terms is proposed and future directions needed to advance this field of research are discussed.

“…Exposure to violence during childhood is an established risk factor for psychosis ( Morgan & Gayer‐Anderson, 2016 ). Preliminary evidence suggests that violence and perceived threat at both the individual and neighbourhood levels may influence mental health outcomes throughout the life course ( Baranyi et al, 2020 ; Conley et al, 2022 ); and victims of violent crime report more psychotic experiences than controls across diverse settings ( DeVylder et al, 2018 ). The evidence on neighbourhood crime and psychosis is limited, but a positive association has been reported ( Baranyi et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Beyond physical injury and property loss, the experience of being a victim of a criminal act has both short-and longterm negative effects on mental health [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Although the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are the most severe psychological sequelae of violent offenses [3,10,[12][13][14][15][16], several researchers have identified a broad spectrum of other psychological symptoms among victims of violent and nonviolent crime [2, 4, 6-10, 17, 18]. As Tan and Haining [8] showed, 86% of crime victims questioned in Sheffield (UK) reported at least one psychological symptom as a consequence of a crime experience: stress (59.7%), sleeping difficulties (39.3%), lack of confidence (37.2%), depression (30.1%) and panic attacks (24.5%).…”

Purpose There is ample evidence that experiencing a criminal victimization is associated with lasting emotional problems among victims. To date, the mechanisms behind this association are not well understood. Based on the theoretical assumptions derived from a transactional stress-appraisal and coping model this study analyses the role of cognitive social capital (SC) in the association between criminal victimization (CV) and victims’ mental health. Methods A cross-sectional, computer-aided telephone survey including a representative sample of 3005 persons from three German cities was conducted. Respondents were asked about CV during their lifetime, cognitive SC, perceived victimization risk, perceived safety and perceived ability to prevent victimization. The PHQ-4 was used as a measure of anxiety and depression. The data were analyzed by means of logistic regression models and a path model controlled for sociodemographic characteristics. Results Lifetime CV with any type of crime was associated with a clinically relevant increased risk of mental disorder (PHQ-4 ≥ 9; OR 1.8, p ≤ 0.05). Path analyses revealed that the direct association between CV and PHQ-4 (β = 0.454; p ≤ 0.01) was significantly diminished by cognitive SC (β = − 0.373; p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion Our results suggest that cognitive SC is an individual resilience factor against negative experiences related to CV and that it holds the potential to diminish negative mental health consequences of CV. Further research should explore to what extent an enhancement of cognitive SC can help to prevent anxiety and depression among crime victims.
