Alexithymia, a trait characterized by difficulties in identifying (DIF) and describing feelings (DDF) and a tendency towards externally oriented thinking (EOT), has been robustly linked to schizophrenia. Despite these associations, the relationship between alexithymia and schizotypy remains underexplored. Moreover, given that both constructs are closely associated with negative affect, it is critical to account for this potential confound to estimate their associations accurately.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We employed a cross\u2010sectional design in a non\u2010clinical sample to examine the associations among the dimensions of alexithymia, negative affect and schizotypy.

DIF and negative schizotypy emerged as central to different clusters in the network. Specifically, DIF served as a bridge linking positive and disorganized schizotypy dimensions to anxiety and stress, whereas negative schizotypy was a central bridge connecting DDF and EOT to depression.
