Social Cognition and Its Correlation with Social Function in Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the social cognition and its correlation with social function for attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS). Methods From August, 2014 to December, 2015, 39 patients with APS were recruited as research group. Another 40 normal healthy persons with similar gender, ages, and education levels were selected as control group. The Faux Pas Recognition Test (FPR) and Yoni Task Test were used to evaluate the social cognition, and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) was used to evaluate the social function. The correlation between FPR, Yoni Task Test and SDSS in the research group was analyzed. Results In FPR test, the faux pas questions score, control questions score and total score of FPR were significantly lower in the research group than in the normal control group (t>2.378, P2.341, P0.05). The SDSS total score was signifi-cantly higher in the research group than in the normal control group (t=13.032, P0.473, P0.448, P<0.01). Conclusion Social cognition func-tion in APS is impaired. It is associated with social dysfunction in APS.
