Schizophrenia - Schizoaffective Disorder - Bipolar Disorder With Psychotic Features - Major Depression With Psychotic Features - Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) |
| Purpose: |
|
In the current study, the investigators propose to measure the five domains of social
cognition identified by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) as relevant to
individuals with psychosis (i.e., theory of mind, attribution style, emotion recognition,
social perception, and social knowledge). The investigators will also explore the
association between different domains of social cognition and outcomes relevant to psychotic
disorder (e.g., symptomatology, social functioning, and vocational functioning).
|
| Study Summary: |
|
There is growing evidence that individuals with longstanding psychotic disorders suffer
from deficits in social cognition (i.e., the cognitive skills needed to successfully
navigate social interactions). However, to date, there have been few attempts to measure
multiple components of social cognition within the same population of individuals with
psychosis. Thus, the interrelationships between various aspects of social cognition remain
unclear. In the current study, the investigators propose to measure the five domains of
social cognition identified by NIMH as relevant to individuals with psychosis (i.e., theory
of mind, attribution style, emotion recognition, social perception, and social knowledge).
The investigators will also explore the association between different domains of social
cognition and outcomes relevant to psychotic disorder (e.g., symptomatology, social
functioning, and vocational functioning).
