A relationship between hallucination proneness and character and temperament: A mediating role of meta-cognitive beliefs in a non-clinical sample.

Abstract: We investigated a mediating role of meta-cognitions in the relationship between Cloninger's temperament and character dimensions and hallucination proneness among healthy subjects (n=135). Two character dimensions—self-directedness and self-transcendence—were related to hallucination proneness. Negative beliefs about uncontrollability of thoughts partially mediated the relationship between these two character dimensions and hallucination proneness. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
