Abstract:
A systematic review was conducted with literature since 1980 and 3 databases. After a screening process of 2,743 nonduplicates, 46 articles were analyzed. Although the results did not follow clear patterns, general and positive schizotypy tended to correlate more positively with creativity, while negative schizotypy and schizophrenia tended to correlate more negatively. Although no robust conclusions can be made due to the correlational nature of the data extracted, based on the findings it is suggested that a trend towards the theorized inverted-U distribution has been found in the relationship between creativity and the schizophrenia spectrum.
