Abstract

Purpose

To investigate whether social support is protective for psychotic experiences similarly among poly-victimised adolescent girls and boys.

Methods

We utilised data from the Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study, a nationally-representative sample of 2232 UK-born twins. Participants were privately interviewed at age 18 about victimisation, psychotic experiences, and social support during adolescence.

Results

Perceived social support (overall and from friends) was found to be protective against psychotic experiences amongst poly-victimised adolescent girls, but not boys. Though boys were similarly protected by family support.

Conclusions

Social support-focused interventions targeting psychotic phenomena amongst poly-victimised adolescents may be more effective for girls.
