Background: Similarly to patients with schizophrenia, non‐clinical individuals with schizotypal traits have been reported to show an increased risk for suicide‐related outcomes. We aimed to assess suicidal ideation, and to determine factors that may have associations with help‐seeking attitudes in high schizotypal individuals as compared to low schizotypal individuals. Method: We carried out a cross‐sectional survey. The Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire, the attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help scale–short form, the disclosure expectations scale, the scale of suicide ideation, the stigma of suicide scale‐short form, the literacy of suicide scale, and the depression anxiety stress scales were administered to 504 college students. A total of 51 students were classified in the high‐schizotypy group, and 50 were classified in the low‐schizotypy group. Results: High‐schizotypal students experienced significantly more suicidal ideation, had greater literacy of suicide, had more glorification of suicide, had higher anticipated risks of disclosure and more negative help‐seeking attitudes than low‐schizotypal students. After controlling for sociodemographic (age, gender, income and tobacco use) and psychosocial variables (personal psychiatric history, family history of suicide, personal history of suicide attempt[s]), depression and suicide ideation), disclosure expectations had both a significant negative independent effect through anticipated risks, and a positive independent effect through anticipated benefits, on high‐schizotypal students' help‐seeking attitudes. Conclusion: The apprehension and reluctance to seek help found in high‐schizotypal students highlight an urgent need to further understand barriers to help‐seeking among at‐risk adolescents, and what may motivate them to reach out for support when they are more at‐risk for suicide.
