Individuals with psychotic symptoms often report low global self-esteem (GSE). However, it remains unclear whether the low GSE is linked to the presence of psychotic symptoms or it is present prior to the onset of psychosis. Additionally, the specific subdomains of GSE in these populations are unknown. To address this question, we conducted a cross-sectional study comparing global and SE elements among individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR; n=36), individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ; n=43), and healthy controls (HC; n=40). We then examined among CHR individuals the association between GSE, subdomains, and symptoms. CHR individuals displayed significantly lower GSE compared to HC, at a level comparable to individuals with SCZ. The low GSE was driven primarily by self-perceptions of work and interpersonal relationships abilities. Lower GSE was associated with overall negative and disorganized symptoms severity, but not positive ones. The authors discuss the implications of the findings to interventions development.
