“…However, although suicide prevention interventions targeting vulnerable personality traits may help to reduce suicide rates (Canal‐Rivero et al, 2019), schizotypy has rarely been studied as a suicide risk factor in the existent literature (e.g., Joiner et al, Joiner Jr. et al, 2001; Kwapil et al, 2013). Recently, studies using large student samples (Gong et al, 2020; Li et al, 2020), longitudinal (O'Hare et al, 2021), and twin studies (O'Hare et al, 2020) found that schizotypal personality traits represent risk factors for subsequent suicidal ideation and attempts. Several explanations of the relationship between schizotypal personality traits and suicidality might be suggested, including the fact that these traits are associated with adverse outcomes including impaired cognitive (Noguchi et al, 2008), executive (Gilleen et al, 2020) and social functions (Wang et al, 2013), autistic social/communicative deficits (Zhou et al, 2019), aggression (Seah & Ang, 2008), poor insight (Mısır et al, 2018), emotion dysregulation and depressive symptoms (Gong et al, 2020) in non‐clinical individuals.…”
