This is the two-factor model with the items of the Revised Social Anhedonia (RSAS) and the Perceptual Aberration (PER) scales independent and two factors, namely, positive schizotypy and negative schizotypy, correlated. Note: PERf1, PERf2, and PERf3 refer to the three parcels of the PER scale; RSASf1, RSASf2, and RSASf3 refer to the three parcels of the RSAS scale. This figure shows the results of a confirmatory factor analysis, whereby the three parcels of the Magical Ideation Scale (MIS) and PER scales load on the positive schizotypy factor, and the three parcels of the RSAS and the three parcels of the Revised Physical Anhedonia Scale (RPAS) load on the negative schizotypy factor. This two-factor model corresponds with the original theory underlying the construction of the Chapman psychosis–proneness scales. This figure also shows the standardized coefficients for the best-fitting model. The correlation coefficient is 0.396.
