Trauma can compromise the sense of agency, a predictor of psychosis. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma may also imply significant cognitive impairments that predispose young people to psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). This study investigates whether the two senses of agency subtypes \u2013 positive and negative agency, and PTSD symptoms mediated PLEs in youths after trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425108776_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study aimed to explore the mediation of the sense of agency and post-traumatic stress symptoms in the development of psychotic-like experiences after trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425108776_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants were Hong Kong youths aged 12 to 25 who completed surveys online from May 2022 to May 2024. Self-report sense of agency, PLEs and related distress, potentially traumatic life events and PTSD symptoms from 517 youths with a mean age of 20.22 and 72.0% female were analysed. 283 participants (54.7%) experienced at least one potentially traumatic event.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425108776_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A series of regression analyses revealed that a positive sense of agency mediated the effect of trauma on PLEs and related distress in the full sample.
