“…Neurocognitive ability significantly contributed to the variances of social functional outcome in addition to emotion recognition performance and basic patient data. Our results are consistent with previous findings, which highlighted the significance of neurocognition in sustaining the abilities required for social functioning [42–43], especially working memory and attention [3, 12, 38]. Unlike another study which found negative symptoms play a role in functional outcome in stable community outpatients with schizophrenia [38], we didn’t find a significant role of clinical symptoms in our subjects, who were a mixed group of outpatients and inpatients.…”

“…It is worth noting that facial emotion recognition was also correlated to many domains of social function, such as interpersonal communication, independence/competence, independence/performance, and employment/occupation. This finding is in line with existing evidence that deficits in emotion recognition have significant impact on social functioning and outcome in patients with schizophrenia via interpersonal interaction, social skill, quality of life, occupational ability, and independence [1, 38–41]. …”

“…The findings replicate the results from numerous previous studies in Western countries and Chinese populations [3–5, 8, 38]. Furthermore, we found that the various subdimensions of social functioning were extensively associated with general intelligence, facial emotion recognition, attention, executive function, working memory, positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and general symptoms, with different patterns.…”

ObjectivesThe complex relationship and exact extent of the contribution of plausible indictors to social functional outcome in schizophrenia remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the functional significance of clinical symptoms, neurocognition, and affect recognition simultaneously in schizophrenia. MethodsThe clinical symptoms, basic neurocognition, facial emotion recognition, and social functioning of 154 subjects, including 74 with schizophrenia and 80 nonclinical comparisons, were assessed. ResultsWe observed that various subdomains of social functioning were extensively related to general intelligence, basic neurocognition, facial emotion recognition, and clinical symptoms, with different association patterns. Multivariate regression analyses revealed that years of education, age, sustained attention, working memory, and facial emotion recognition were significantly associated with global social functioning in schizophrenia. ConclusionOur findings suggest that affect recognition combined with nonsocial neurocognition demonstrated a crucial role in predicting global social function in schizophrenia.

“…It is still unclear which cognitive impairments are more relevant, neurocognitive or social cognitive variables [82,84,102,[130][131][132] . The extent to which social cognition is independent of neurocognition is also unresolved [102,[133][134][135][136] . -Which neurocognitive subcomponents correlate best with functional outcome is also a matter of debate.…”

This is a critical review of research on the subjective experience of social dysfunction in persons with schizophrenia. Studies from the phenomenological and cognitive paradigms are examined, and significant outcomes and shortcomings are pointed out. Clinical phenomenologists have mainly interpreted schizophrenic dissociality as an anomaly of prereflexive attunement. The main shortcoming of phenomenological research is that it lacks adequate methodology to collect reliable data since most studies are based on the analysis of a few typical cases. Cognitivism has reliably documented disorders of social functioning in large-scale experimental studies. The main shortcoming of most cognitive paradigms is that they do not properly investigate the personal level of experience in real-world functioning. We conclude that there is a need to reliably collect data through quantitative as well as qualitative methodology as established and accepted by the scientific community in the area of schizophrenic dissociality, reflecting the subjective experiences of people with schizophrenia in the real world.

“…Respecto a este úl-timo, diversos estudios han constatado que los pacientes con esquizofrenia tienen un défi cit en la percepción de las emociones de tipo negativo (Savla, Vella, Armstrong, Penn, y Twamley, 2013;Weisberger et al, 2015). Este défi cit se ha relacionado con diferentes aspectos del funcionamiento social, tales como la capacidad de autocuidado (Pan, Chen, Chen, y Liu, 2009), las habilidades para mantener una conversación (Hooker y Park, 2002), los malos entendidos en las relaciones interpersonales, o la presencia de comportamientos socialmente inadecuados (Pinkham y Penn, 2006). Se ha observado en pacientes que nunca han tomado medicación (Bediou et al, 2012), se mantiene estable a lo largo del curso de la enfermedad, y es independiente de la presencia de sintomatología, por lo que se ha propuesto como un marcador de riesgo de la esquizofrenia (Horan et al, 2012).…”

Research about emotion recognition in schizophrenia has shown that patients have a defi cit in perception of negative emotions. There are different tests to assess emotion recognition, but they have several methodological limitations. The aim of the present article was to develop a new tool to assess the six basic emotions. A study was done with 450 control subjects and 60 outpatients with schizophrenia. Fifty-six images were selected to form the test, eight for each basic emotion and eight neutral ones. All photographs had an accuracy higher than 89% and a test-retest reliability between 0.80 and 1.32 for controls, and between 0.61 and 1.92 for outpatients. Overall, data obtained show that the Emotion Recognition Assessment Test (ERAT) may be a good tool to assess emotion recognition in schizophrenia. This test is available for free in www.proyectoscores.es/pere.php Keywords: Basic emotions; schizophrenia; social cognition; assessment.Resumen: Los estudios sobre reconocimiento de emociones en esquizofrenia han demostrado que los pacientes presentan un défi cit en la percepción de emociones negativas. Hay varias pruebas disponibles para evaluar el reconocimiento de emociones, pero tienen inconvenientes de tipo metodológico. El objetivo del presente artículo fue desarrollar un nuevo instrumento para la valoración de las emociones básicas. El estudio se llevó a cabo con 450 sujetos control y 60 pacientes con esquizofrenia. Se seleccionaron 56 imágenes para formar la prueba, 8 por cada emoción básica y 8 neutras. Todas las fotografías obtuvieron una precisión de reconocimiento superior al 89% y una fi abilidad test-retest entre 0.80 y 1 para los sujetos control, y entre 0.61 y 1 para los pacientes. En conjunto, estos resultados indican que la Prueba de Evaluación del Reconocimiento de Emociones (PERE), disponible gratuitamente en www.proyectoscores.es/pere.php, puede ser una buena herramienta para evaluar el reconocimiento de emociones en esquizofrenia.Palabras clave: Emociones básicas; esquizofrenia; cognición social; evaluación. IntroducciónLa cognición social se ha defi nido como los procesos y funciones que permiten a una persona entender las situaciones sociales, actuar en dichas situaciones y beneficiarse de las interacciones con los demás (Corrigan y Penn, 2001;Pinkham et al., 2014). Se han propuesto cuatro dominios que integran la cognición social: el procesamiento emocional, la teoría de la mente, el estilo atribucional y la percepción social (Pinkham et al., 2014). El procesamiento emocional se refi ere a la capacidad de percibir, entender y manejar de manera adecuada la información emocional, tanto en relación con uno
