Abstract

Attachment styles develop from child-caregiver relationships and may play a role in psychosis psychopathology, even in subclinical populations. When examining attachment, paranoia, and imaging data collected from healthy youth, we found that anxious attachment and the structural connectivity of the inferior fronto-occipital pathway significantly predicted paranoia.
