Abstract: | Successful social interaction depends on the ability to decode emotion in the nonverbal behaviors of others. Because relationship
difficulties are paramount in adolescents with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), we predicted that adolescents with
SPD would (1) make more emotion decoding errors than adolescents with other personality disorders (OPD) or non-psychiatric
controls (NPC); and (2) exhibit more social and thought problems than OPD or NPC adolescents. Further, we predicted greater
emotion decoding errors for all adolescents would relate to concurrent and future social problems, thought problems, and social
reasoning deficits. SPD adolescents made more errors than OPD and NPC adolescents in decoding voices but not faces (except
in specific emotion categories). For all adolescents, vocal errors correlated with greater social problems, and facial and
vocal errors correlated with greater thought difficulties concurrently and a year later. |
