Psychotic-like experiences, trauma and related risk factors among “left-behind” children in China

Mediating role of cognitive biases, resilience and depressive symptoms in the relationship between childhood trauma and psychotic‐like experiences in young adults

“…The relationship between early trauma and PLEs demonstrated in our study remains consistent with a substantial number of population‐based studies, which have proven that various types of early trauma are risk factors for psychosis spectrum symptoms including PLEs (Kelleher & Cannon, ; Sun et al, ). Nevertheless, the goal of our study was to explore the mediating effect of the possible chain of interlinked mediators, namely, cognitive biases, resilience and depressive symptoms, as well as their independent role of the well‐founded trauma‐psychosis risk association.…”

Prevalence of psychotic‐like experiences and their correlations with internalizing problems: A study of early adolescents in rural area in Karawang, Indonesia

“…The difference between the previous study and the present study was the characteristics of the adolescent's parents (migrant workers and non‐migrant workers). A similar study found that children left behind by their parents in rural areas in China significantly have a higher number of PLEs compared with those not left behind (Sun et al, ). The findings suggested that longer periods of separation from their parents who work as migrant worker contribute to more severe trauma and PLEs.…”

Concordance of child self‐reported psychotic experiences with interview‐ and observer‐based psychotic experiences

“…We carried out a systematic search of all published literature between 2000 and 2016 on the prevalence of PE in children and adolescents (Appendix S1, Supporting information). A total of 25 studies met our inclusion criteria, and were divided into groups based on age and method of assessment (Barragan, Laurens, Navarro, & Obiols, 2011;Bartels-Velthuis, Jenner, van de Willige, van Os, & Wiersma, 2010;De Loore et al, 2011;Dhossche, Ferdinand, Van der Ende, Hofstra, & Verhulst, 2002;Fonseca-Pedrero et al, 2011;Fonseca-Pedrero et al, 2017;Horwood et al, 2008;Jeppesen et al, 2015b;Kelleher, Harley, Murtagh, & Cannon, 2011;Kelleher, Keeley, et al, 2012b;Kinoshita et al, 2011;Kobayashi et al, 2010;Lataster et al, 2006;Laurens et al, 2007;Laurens, Hobbs, Sunderland, Green, & Mould, 2012;Nishida et al, 2008;Nishida et al, 2014;Polanczyk et al, 2010;Poulton et al, 2000;Roddy et al, 2012;Scott et al, 2009;Sun et al, 2017;van der Hoorn et al, 2010;Wigman et al, 2011;Yung et al, 2009). All of the studies reported the frequencies of either self-reported PE (PE-S), interview-based measures of PE (PE-I) or both, but only one paper reported results regarding the concurrence of PE-S and PE-I.…”

“…In children (age range or mean age 7‐13 years) the overall prevalence of PE‐S varied from 21%‐66% (Horwood et al, ; Kelleher et al, ; Kelleher, Keeley, et al, ; Laurens et al, ; Laurens et al, ; Roddy et al, ; Wigman et al, ) while the overall prevalence of PE‐I varied less (10.5%‐22.6%) (Horwood et al, ; Jeppesen, Larsen, et al, ; Kelleher, Keeley, et al, ; Poulton et al, ). As for the adolescents (age range or mean age 13‐18 years) the variation in overall PE‐S was even larger: 7.0%‐85.1% (Barragan et al, ; De Loore et al, ; Dhossche et al, ; Fonseca‐Pedrero et al, ; Fonseca‐Pedrero et al, ; Kinoshita et al, ; Kobayashi et al, ; Lataster et al, ; Nishida et al, ; Nishida et al, ; Scott et al, ; Sun et al, ; van der Hoorn et al, ; Wigman et al, ; Yung et al, ) while only one study reported an overall prevalence of PE‐I (7%) (Kelleher, Keeley, et al, ).…”

“…Self‐reported auditory hallucinations generally have good predictive values, not just for auditory hallucinations, but also for having any PE (Kelleher et al, ). The presence of “auditory hallucinations” are reported in most of the studies of children and adolescents and constitute the most frequent type of PE together with “visual hallucinations” and “the feeling of being spied upon” (Barragan et al, ; Bartels‐Velthuis et al, ; De Loore et al, ; Dhossche et al, ; Horwood et al, ; Jeppesen, Larsen, et al, ; Kelleher et al, ; Kinoshita et al, ; Kobayashi et al, ; Lataster et al, ; Laurens et al, ; Laurens et al, ; Nishida et al, ; Polanczyk et al, ; Scott et al, ; Sun et al, ; van der Hoorn et al, ; Wigman et al, ; Yung et al, ).…”
