Abstract	Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), or subclinical hallucinations and delusions, are common symptoms among young adults. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Psychotic-Like Experiences Questionnaire for Children (PLEQ-C) in Iranian school students. The study method was cross-sectional, and the population consisted of Iranian school students aged 9-12 years, from whom 455 students were selected through the convenience sampling method. The participants then completed the PLEQ-C, Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief (PQ-B), and Community Assessment of Psychotic Experiences-42 (CAPE-42). The PLEQ-C's psychometric properties were analyzed using the confirmatory factor analysis while the reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha. The convergent validity was assessed using the PQ-B and CAPE-42 measures. The findings showed that the PLEQ-C has satisfactory internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha of 0.83), and the one-factor structure provides a good fit for the observed data. The PLEQ-C was also significantly correlated with the PQ-B and CAPE-42 questionnaires. Given the study findings, it is concluded that the PLEQ-C has good validity for Iranian school students aged 9-12 years and can be used as a reliable and valid measure in psychological evaluations in the Iranian context.
