Abstract BackgroundPsychotic experiences are not uncommon in young people and are associated with both psychopathology and compromised global functioning. Although psychotic experiences are transient for most people who report them, few studies have examined the association between early transient PEs and later functioning in population samples. Additionally, studies using self-report measures of interpersonal and educational/ vocational difficulties are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between transient psychotic experiences and self-reported interpersonal and educational/vocational difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood.MethodsParticipants were 103 young people from a longitudinal population-based study cohort of mental health in Ireland. They attended for baseline clinical interviews in childhood (age 11-13) and were followed up in young adulthood (age 19-25). Participants who reported psychotic experiences at baseline but not at follow-up were classified as having transient psychotic experiences. Data from both time-points were used to examine the association between transient psychotic experiences and self-reported interpersonal and educational/ vocational difficulties in young adulthood using poisson regression modelling.ResultsYoung people with a history of transient psychotic experiences reported significantly higher interpersonal (adj IRR: 1.83, 95%ileCI: 1.10- 3.02, p = .02) and educational/vocational (adj IRR: 2.28, 95%ileCI: 1.43- 3.64, p = .001) difficulties during adolescence. However, no significant differences in interpersonal (adj IRR: 0.49, 95%ileCI: 0.10-2.30, p = .37) or educational/vocational (adj IRR: 0.88, 95%ileCI: 0.37-2.08, p = .77) difficulties were found in young adulthood. Self-reported interpersonal and educational/vocational difficulties in young people both with and without a history of transient psychotic experiences decreased between adolescence and young adulthood.ConclusionsYoung people with transient psychotic experiences have increased interpersonal and educational/vocational difficulties in adolescence but these may not persist into the young adult years. This finding indicates that early psychotic experiences may not confer high risk for long-term interpersonal or educational/vocational deficits among young people who experience these phenomena transiently.

Abstract BackgroundPsychotic experiences (PEs) are not uncommon in young people and are associated with both psychopathology and compromised global functioning. Although psychotic experiences are transient (short-lived, self-resolving and non-recurring) for most people who report them, few studies have examined the association between early transient PEs and later functioning in population samples. Additionally, studies using self-report measures of interpersonal and educational/ vocational difficulties are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between transient psychotic experiences and self-reported interpersonal and educational/vocational difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood.

In a longitudinal study, the influence of three types of fathers on their children’s psychopathology in adolescence and young adulthood was analyzed. In a sample of 213 subjects, the symptomatology was evaluated at five points in adolescence (Youth Self-Report) and in young adulthood (Young Adult Self-Report). The results show elevated levels of internalizing symptomatology in females compared to males. Furthermore, the results point to significant problems in young adults who have described their father as increasingly negative or distant through adolescence. At all measurement points, these two groups show higher symptomatology than the group of young adults who have described their father as normative in adolescence. Zusammenfassung In einer Längsschnittstudie wurde der Einfluss dreier Vatertypen auf die Symptombelastung ihrer Kinder im Jugend- und im jungen Erwachsenenalter analysiert. An einer Stichprobe aus 213 Probanden wurde die Symptombelastung zu fünf Messzeitpunkten im Jugendalter (Youth Self- Report) und im jungen Erwachsenenalter (Young Adult Self-Report) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen erhöhte Werte in der internalisierenden Symptombelastung der weiblichen im Vergleich zu den männlichen Probanden. Des Weiteren weisen die Ergebnisse auf erhebliche Probleme bei jungen Erwachsenen, welche ihren Vater im Jugendalter als zunehmend negativ oder distanziert beschrieben haben, hin. In diesen beiden Gruppen zeigte sich zu allen Messzeitpunkten eine höhere Symptombelastung als in der Gruppe der jungen Erwachsenen, welche ihren Vater im Jugendalter als normativ beschrieben haben.
