Description: Schizophrenia is associated with deficits in social cognition and emotion processing, but it is not known how these deficits relate to other domains of neurocognition and whether they might contribute to psychosis development. The current dissertation approaches this question by looking at the relationship between psychosis-proneness and face emotion recognition ability, a core domain of social-emotional processing.
Notes: Keywords: affect, emotion, facial expression, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizotypy.
