Abstract

Core schemas were examined in youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis. African American youth reported more negative schemas about others as well as more positive schemas about themselves compared to European American youth. Negative schemas were associated with more severe attenuated positive symptoms and perceived discrimination in African American youth.
