dc.description.abstractIndividuals experiencing subthreshold psychotic symptoms are at risk for numerous wide ranging experiences, many known to impact distress, impairment, and quality of life. Elucidating factors related to the presence or exacerbation of these psychotic experiences is crucial in order to highlight elements to target within clinical intervention. Daily stress and sleep behavior have both independently been shown to lead to increases in psychotic symptomatology, and daily stress and sleep behavior have further evidenced strong associations with each other. The current study aimed to assess the day-to-day associations between daily event stress, sleep quantity and quality, and presence of psychotic experiences in a non-clinical, undergraduate sample. Ecological momentary assessment methods were used to collect data on daily stress, sleep behavior, and psychotic experiences in real-time and outside of the laboratory setting from a final sample of thirty-six undergraduate participants recruited to be representative of a range of severity within psychotic experiences. Results were unable to support presence of predictive pathways between stress, sleep, and next day psychotic experiences; however, stated limitations present within the current study very likely impacted null findings. Future studies should continue to pursue reliable and valid methodology that elucidates factors related to presence of psychotic experiences within community populations.
