“…Therefore, PB did not differentiate the three groups varying on delusionality. It is of note that previous studies that reported a group difference on PB mostly focused on persecutory delusions, and there is evidence that PB is more consistently associated with the theme of persecution or hostility than with the presence of delusional ideation on the whole [ 30 – 32 ]. As we did not limit our sample to individuals with persecutory delusions, our data did not allow a sensitive test of the graded difference in PB across groups.…”

This study compared delusional dimensions and attribution biases along the continuum of psychosis. Participants completed questionnaires on delusion-like beliefs and attributions. Although patients with first-episode psychosis (N = 70) endorsed fewer delusion-like beliefs than non-clinical individuals with psychotic-like experiences (N = 12), they scored highest on delusional conviction, distress and preoccupation, followed by non-clinical individuals with psychotic-like experiences, and then healthy controls (N = 642). Self-serving bias was found in patients and non-clinical individuals with psychotic-like experiences, but not in healthy controls. Personalizing bias for negative events was not significantly different across the three groups. When compared with healthy controls, non-clinical individuals with psychotic-like experiences had an exaggerated self-serving bias, but were not more marked in personalizing bias. Self-serving bias and personalizing bias were both associated with delusional dimensions. However, the association between self-serving bias and number of delusion-like beliefs was stronger among patients than non-clinical participants. Future research could investigate the extent to which self-serving bias, in combination with an appraisal of delusional ideation as convincing, distress, and preoccupying, contributes to the development of clinical delusions.

“…spoken with a stern, serious prosody. As violent offenders may display a "hostile attribution bias, " a tendency to view neutral expressions and behaviors as hostile [(82); for a review, see (26)], failing to inhibit the (negative) prosodic cues may lead to inappropriate social reactions for forensic patients with schizophrenia [see also (83)]. Indeed, poor executive functioning (e.g., inhibition) has also been associated with the risk of aggressive-behavior recidivism in schizophrenic patients (72).…”

“…Detecting such latent and static facial signals of threat likely has noteworthy consequences, as appraisal of social threat is believed to facilitate behavioral responses when interacting with others (Bar et al, 2006, Green & Phillips, 2004). Moreover, explicit attribution of hostility to others’ intentions (Harris et al, 2014) and faces (Pinkham et al, 2011) seems to vary as a function of paranoid ideation, which suggests that implicit sensitivity to facial threat markers may have important clinical implications as well.…”

An emerging body of research suggests that people with schizophrenia retain the ability to implicitly perceive facial affect, despite well-documented difficulty explicitly identifying emotional expressions. It remains unclear, however, whether such functional implicit processing extends beyond emotion to other socially relevant facial cues. Here, we constructed two novel versions of the Affect Misattribution Procedure, a paradigm in which affective responses to primes are projected onto neutral targets. The first version included three face primes previously validated to elicit varying inferences of threat from healthy individuals via emotion-independent structural modification (e.g., nose and eye size). The second version included the threat-relevant emotional primes of angry, neutral, and happy faces. Data from 126 participants with schizophrenia and 84 healthy controls revealed that although performing more poorly on an assessment of explicit emotion recognition, patients showed normative implicit threat processing for both non-emotional and emotional facial cues. Collectively, these results support recent hypotheses postulating that the initial perception of salient facial information remains intact in schizophrenia, but that deficits arise at subsequent stages of contextual integration and appraisal. Such a breakdown in the stream of face processing has important implications for mechanistic models of social cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and treatment strategies aiming to improve functional outcome.
