“…Two small exploratory studies employed individually designed ethograms to assess head and body nonverbal behaviour (Hardin, 1980;Pounds, 2010). Pounds (2010) assessed behaviour of patients and their nurse during dyadic, clinical interactions.…”

“…The temporal relationship between the behaviour of the patient and their partner was investigated in order to identify behavioural responsiveness. Hardin (1980) recorded patients' dyadic interactions with other patients, or trainee nurses. Hardin's coding system assessed full body nonverbal behaviours, grouped into five ethological categories: engagement, inclusiveness, defensiveness, congruence and rhythmicity.…”

“…Three studies investigated the impact of the presence of the patient on the nonverbal behaviour of non-clinical partners (Ellgring, 1986;Lavelle et al, 2012;Steimer-Krause et al, 1990). Pounds (2010) assessed the impact of the patient on their clinical partner, Hardin (1980) provided a nonverbal assessment patients and their partners in an interactional unit and Altorfer (1992) assessed patients' behaviour in response to specific verbal comments from their interacting partners. These studies will be discussed in turn.…”

“…In response to the patients' reduced gaze, the nurse employed exaggerated verbal and nonverbal behaviours, including hand gestures, to gain the patients' attention and engagement. Hardin (1980) recorded patients' interactions with (i) other schizophrenia patients and (ii) trainee nurses. Patient-nurse interactions displayed more frequent and durable periods of engagement, congruent body position and synchronous body and leg movements.…”

“…Patient-nurse interactions displayed more frequent and durable periods of engagement, congruent body position and synchronous body and leg movements. Nonverbal communication in the patient-patient interactions were unique in that they displayed very little engagement and no synchronization of leg or body movement (Hardin, 1980). As nonverbal behaviours were coded as a unit it is impossible to say if the highly engaging and congruent pattern in the patient-nurse interaction is due to the behaviour of both participants or just one.…”

Patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia display social cognitive deficits. However, little is known about patients' nonverbal communication during their social encounters with others. This review identified 17 studies investigating nonverbal communication in patients' unscripted face-to-face interactions, addressing a) nonverbal differences between patients and others, b) nonverbal behavior of the patients' partners, c) the association between nonverbal behavior and symptoms, and d) the association between nonverbal behavior and social outcomes. Patients displayed fewer nonverbal behaviors inviting interaction, with negative symptoms exacerbating this pattern. Positive symptoms were associated with heightened nonverbal behavior. Patients' partners changed their own nonverbal behavior in response to the patient. Reduced prosocial behaviors, inviting interaction, were associated with poorer social outcomes. The evidence suggests that patients' nonverbal behavior, during face-to-face interaction, is influenced by patients symptoms and impacts the success of their social interactions.

Interpersonal coordination in schizophrenia: a concise update on paradigms, computations, and neuroimaging findings

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Social functioning impairment is a hallmark of mental illness. As one of the most intractable and severe psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia is characterized by deficits on multiple social cognitive domains. In particular, failures of interpersonal coordination (i.e., actions that occur in spatial and temporal concordance with those of other individuals in a social setting) in schizophrenia are closely linked to significant prognostic indicators, such as symptom remission, quality of life, and employment. Despite the increasing interest in the psychological and neural mechanisms of interpersonal coordination in schizophrenia, important gaps in our understanding remain. Notably, the study of the mechanisms underpinning interpersonal coordination is currently undergoing a methodological shift, moving its focus from single-person tasks to second- and multi-person paradigms, and from model-free to model-based analyses. However, applications of these advanced approaches in schizophrenia has been slow. Here, we provide a concise update on the uses of multi-person paradigms to study interpersonal coordination and mathematical models to dissect its computational mechanisms, at both behavioral and neural levels. We then review prior studies on large-scale neuroimaging studies that explore brain correlates of general social functions and further pointed to the implementation of dissecting interpersonal coordination deficits in schizophrenia. Finally, we highlight key challenges as well as exciting opportunities for integrating research in computational psychiatry with second- and multi-person approaches in investigating interpersonal coordination deficits in schizophrenia.

Interpersonal Coordination in Schizophrenia: A Scoping Review of the Literature

Interpersonal coordination forms the natural bridge between the self and others. It arises from the dynamic and complex set of embodied processes that involve nonverbal behaviors, perceptions, movement, and emotions that support adaptive interactions. Disembodiment has been implicated in a myriad of core clinical phenomena that manifest in a “praecox feeling” in persons with schizophrenia during interpersonal interactions. To further understand mechanisms underlying aberrant interpersonal interactions in schizophrenia, recent research has focused on mimicry, imitation, and interactional synchrony. In this study, we conducted a Pubmed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo database review of the literature on interpersonal coordination in schizophrenia to evaluate the body of work in mimicry, imitation, and interactional synchrony in relation to schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. The results of the review suggest that the sensory-motor processes underlying interpersonal coordination may result in impaired abilities to mimic and synchronize nonverbal behavior during interactions. Opportunities for future progress lie in studies of interpersonal coordination at different developmental stages of psychosis, potential use of interpersonal coordination to improve treatment adherence and reduce stigma, as well as interventions to improve social functioning in people with a serious mental illness.
