“…For example, a recent study reported that schizophrenia patients in acute stages of illness demonstrated a specific affect recognition deficit, but chronic schizophrenia patients demonstrated a general face processing deficit (Penn et al, 2000). However, others who have investigated stages and characteristics of schizophrenic illness such as number of hospitalizations, duration of hospital stay, and chronicity of illness have found no specific association with affect recognition abilities (Salem et al, 1996;Addington and Addington, 1998).…”

“…Most of these investigations have found that schizophrenia patients have defi-cits in both facial and vocal affect recognition (e.g. Archer et al, 1994;Baudouin et al, 2002;Borod et al, 1993;Edwards et al, 2001;Feinberg et al, 1986;Heimberg et al, 1992;Mandal et al, 1998;Penn et al, 2000;Schneider et al, 1995;Walker et al, 1984), and that these deficits are not related to age, gender, medication status or neuroleptic dose (Kline et al, 1992;Poole et al, 2000;Salem et al, 1996;Schneider et al, 1995).…”

“…Twenty-two studies examined sex differences in FEP in adult samples of chronically ill people with schizophrenia. The majority of these studies (n = 19) did not find sex differences in FEP, either on identification tasks [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] , discrimination tasks [42,43] , or in studies that included both task types [44][45][46][47][48][49] . Three studies included in Kohler et al [7] , Chan et al [5] , and Savla et al [9] found sex differences in FEP performance on identification tasks in adults with chronic schizophrenia.…”

AIM:To review the literature on sex differences in facial emotion perception (FEP) across the schizophrenia spectrum. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review of empirical articles that were included in five separate meta-analyses of FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum, including meta-analyses that predominantly examined adults with chronic schizophrenia, people with early (onset prior to age 18) or recent-onset (experiencing their first or second psychotic episode or illness duration less than 2 years) schizophrenia, and unaffected first-degree relatives of people with schizophrenia. We also examined articles written in English (from November 2011 through June 2015) that were not included in the aforementioned metaanalyses through a literature search in the PubMed database. All relevant articles were accessed in full text. We examined all studies to determine the sample sizes, diagnostic characteristics, demographic information, methodologies, results, and whether each individual study reported on sex differences. The results from the meta-analyses themselves as well as the individual studies are reported in tables and text. RESULTS:We retrieved 134 articles included in five separate meta-analyses and the PubMed database that examined FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum. Of these articles, 38 examined sex differences in FEP. Thirty of these studies did not find sex differences in FEP in either chronically ill adults with schizophrenia, early-onset or recently diagnosed people with schizophrenia, or first-degree relatives of people with schizophrenia. Of the eight studies that found sex differences in FEP, three found that chronically ill women outperformed men, one study found that girls with early-onset schizophrenia outperformed boys, and two studies found that women (including first-degree relatives, adults with schizophrenia, and the healthy control group) outperformed men on FEP tasks. In total, six of the eight studies that examined sex differences in FEP found that women outperformed men across the SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS Core tip: People with schizophrenia exhibit deficits in facial emotion perception (FEP) compared to healthy controls. These deficits are associated with poorer functioning and more severe symptoms. Although the literature to date suggests that there are few sex differences in FEP in schizophrenia, continued assessment of sex differences in FEP can help researchers and clinicians better understand other sex differences in the disorder and assist in treatment development aimed at improving functioning in people with schizophrenia. This review summarizes and critically evaluates the literature on FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum, focusing on the evidence related to sex differences in FEP.Mote J, Kring AM.

“…Focusing on facial emotion perception many studies could show deficits in the processing of emotional facial expressions in schizophrenia patients (Feinberg et al, 1986;Heimberg et al, 1992;Kohler et al, 2003;Mueser et al, 1997;Penn et al, 2000;Schneider et al, 1995Schneider et al, , 2006. A more detailed inspection of these impairments revealed that although the sensitivity to detect a specific emotion was preserved, the specificity was affected, ie schizophrenia patients exhibited problems in rejecting faces with other than the target emotional expression .…”

Emotion discrimination deficits represent a well-established finding in schizophrenia. Although imaging studies addressed the cerebral dysfunctions underlying emotion perception in adult patients, the question of trait vs state characteristics is still unresolved. The investigation of juvenile patients offers the advantage of studying schizophrenia at an age where influences of illness course and long-term medication are minimized. This may enable a more detailed characterization of emotion discrimination impairments and their cerebral correlates with respect to their appearance and exact nature. A total of 12 juvenile patients with early onset schizophrenia and matched healthy juveniles participated in this study. fMRI data were acquired during an emotion discrimination task consisting of standardized photographs of faces displaying happy, sad, angry, fearful, or neutral facial expression. Similar to findings in adult patients, juvenile patients exhibited reduced performance specificity whereas sensitivity was unaffected. Independent of the valence, their processing of emotional faces was associated with hypoactivations in both fusiform gyri and in the left inferior occipital gyrus. In addition, hyperactivations in patients were found in the right cuneus common to happy, angry, and fearful faces. Further, most distinct changes were present in juvenile patients when processing sad faces. These results point to a dysfunction in cerebral circuits relevant for emotion processing already prominent in adolescent schizophrenia patients. Regions affected by a decrease in activation are related to visual and face processing, similar to deficits reported in adult patients. These changes are accompanied by hyperactivations in areas related to emotion regulation and attribution, possibly reflecting compensatory mechanisms.
