The purpose of this study was to examine the metacognitive and emotion regulation functioning of college students who have high vs. low predisposition to report experiencing auditory hallucinations. Participants were 375 undergraduate students at a mid-sized, private Catholic university who completed self-report measures of metacognitive beliefs, emotion regulation and predisposition to auditory hallucinations online. Students who reported high predisposition to auditory hallucinations produced significantly higher scores on measures of avoidance when faced with emotional distress, and reported more maladaptive metacognitive beliefs than students who had a low predisposition to report auditory hallucinations. A multiple regression analysis found three predictors for high predisposition to report auditory hallucinations: negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger, cognitive self-consciousness, and impulse control difficulties. The implications of the current findings, as well as suggestions for future research, are discussed.
