Abstract

• Current research demonstrates that patients with schizophreniadisplay deficits in a broad range of interpersonal skills. Toinvestigate the ability of patients with schizophrenia and majordepression and normal controls to process facial stimuli, fourtasks were constructed from 21 photographs of faces representingstandardized poses of fundamental emotions. Two tasks were designedto investigate facial identity matching independent of emotionexpressed, and two tasks were designed to test emotion recognitionand emotion labeling, respectively. Results indicate that whiledepressed patients differed from controls only on the emotion-labelingtask, those with schizophrenia showed deficits on all four taskswhen compared with controls and did worse than patients withdepression on the emotion tasks. The findings suggest that patientswith schizophrenia are impaired on a broader range of facialperception skills than those with depression, when comparedwith controls.
