title: Association between aggressiveness, schizotypal personality traits and cannabis use in Swiss psychology students.
abstract: Associations between aggressiveness, schizotypal traits, and self-declared cannabis consumption were explored in Swiss psychology students (n = 205). Higher hostility levels were strongly associated with more pronounced schizotypal traits, whereas frequency of cannabis use was not. Therefore, earlier reported correlations might be due to a subgroup of hostile consumers.
