Abstract
Fantasy proneness has so far been treated as a trait associated with both pathological and adaptive mechanisms. What also seems to be the case is that both claims are evident and experimentally verified. This is an indicator of the much greater sensitivity with which these traits should be treated. This paper examines the relationship between fantasy proneness with selected indicators of mental health and sociodemographic characteristics with special consideration of the corresponding role of positive and negative affect. Obtained results contribute to detecting the sensitivity traits that seem to categorize fantasy prone individuals into the groups of those under risk for the development of mental health problems and those who are well adapted. This has been done by performing statistical analysis on impact detection methods to achieve significant correlation and determination of fantasy proneness via sociodemographic variables and mental health indicator variables. The results indicate that only marital status is a significant socio-demographic predictor, while all of the mental health indicators have significant direct or indirect impact on fantasy proneness.
