    Impact of psychotic traits and family functioning on identity

    Psychosis is a major area of interest within the field of psychology, and concepts of identity
    and family functioning are at the heart of the understanding of the topic. However, much of
    the research up to now evaluated psychosis from the perspective of pathology rather than a
    personality trait. This study therefore set out to assess the association between identity,
    family functioning, and psychotic traits among the general population.

    Social identity alterations may emerge in the context of psychotic disorders, due to specific
    symptoms, such as paranoia, flattened affects, or social anhedonia (McIntyre et al., 2018).
    These patients could struggle with interpersonal relationships but also to integrate into a
    job, a leisure activity, or a community. Interpersonal difficulties seem to appear in early
    childhood since the bounding quality is lower for these patients than in the general
    population (Carr et al., 2018). This relation could be explained by family dysfunction during
    childhood and adolescence. Indeed, recent research shows that dysregulation in family
    functioning is correlated with early episodes of psychosis (Santesteban-Echarri et al., 2018).
    Furthermore, childhood and adolescence are critical moments for the construction of
    identity (Erickson, 1978). Therefore, a dysregulation of family functioning may lead to an
    alteration of identity, including social identity.

    These findings suggest that psychotic traits are related to identity and that the quality of
    family functioning modulates this link. More specifically, psychotic traits should be
    negatively
    correlated to identity and quality of family functioning, nevertheless, the quality of family
    functioning should reduce the impact of psychotic traits on identity.

    108 participants were recruited for this study; three questionnaires were submitted,
    assessing the quality of family functioning during childhood, the intensity of psychotic
    traits, and involvement in several aspects of identity. Linear regressions were conducted to
    analyze the data.

    This research should not only fill a gap in the literature but also contribute to developing
    family prevention programs for at-risk adolescents. Nonetheless, further research should
    utilize a qualitative design to explore individual’s subjective perceptions of their own
    families.
