- - Individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders show anomalies in attentional selection, specifically their ability to inhibit irrelevant visual information when focusing on a target stimulus.
- - Recent studies indicate that when looking for a target among competing stimuli, a suppression effect occurs around the area of attention, which was tested in this research involving both individuals with schizophrenia and neurotypical controls.
- - Findings revealed that those with schizophrenia exhibited a stronger and wider suppression of distracting information compared to neurotypical individuals, which could negatively impact their perception and integration of visual information.

The purpose of this study was to understand binding trends in AYA and to recognize how chest binding impacts chest dysphoria and life satisfaction.
Methods: Data were collected from eligible participants via a national online survey.
