Impaired social cognition in anorexia nervosa patients

Abstract: BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of social cognition in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).MethodsEighteen female patients with AN (mean age =35.4±8.6 years) and 18 female healthy controls (HC) (mean age =32.8±9.4 years) participated in the study. Their social cognition was assessed with the Social Cognition Screening Questionnaire (SCSQ).ResultsThe results showed that total score of the SCSQ and scores of theory of mind and metacognition were significantly lower in A… Show more

“…These items are asking about how much patients are aware of their own emotion and to what extent they have impaired sense of control [22]. Hamatani et al [42] reported that AN patients were not good at monitoring and evaluating their own cognitive activities and the characteristic was associated with low QOL.…”

“…In the last few years, different studies revealed common traits between the autistic spectrum disorder and AN, associating those symptoms with disruptions in basic neurocognitive processes, especially in social cognition and executive function. These alterations have been proposed as endophenotypes of AN and eating disorders (Hamatani, 2016;Kanakam, Raoult, Collier, & Treasure, 2013). Nevertheless, divergent aspects have been reported, and social cognition studies are in initial stage.…”

“…Overall, as expected, we observed group differences for third party ratings of pleasantness of touch for self but not for another. We capitalized on prior research which has reported that individuals with AN have impaired ToM which involves the decoding of affective stimuli [38] both at self and other perspectives [36,37] and it was found to manifest even after recovery [39,40,41,42,43,44,81]. In this study, it was expected that anorexics would use their own experiences to interpret the feelings generated in another, which would be less pleasant compared to neurotypical populations.…”

“…One important aspect of ToM is cognitive perspective taking which is one's capacity to compare state of self (1 st person perspective) with another individual (3 rd person perspective), with both perspectives involving different neural and cognitive processes [36,37]. It is well known that anorexics have difficulties in attributing mental states (intentions, feelings, beliefs) to others and in explaining and predicting others' behaviour, which involves the decoding of affective stimuli [38,39,40,41,42,43,44]. Further, fMRI studies have revealed that even after recovery, anorexics have reduced functioning in social and cognitive networks, compared to healthy controls, which again can account for their difficulty in ToM perspective taking [38,45].…”
