It has been widely demonstrated that patients with schizophrenia show a broad range of deficits in interpersonal skills. Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the ability of these patients to decode affective cues. The present study examined the question of an facial-emotion perception in a sample of 25 positive schizophrenics, 25 negative schizophrenics and 25 normals, using facial-emotion perception test that have been standardized stimulus films. Results suggested that all schizophrenics were significantly impaired in facial-emotion perception than normals. And negative schizophrenics were significantly impaired in facial-emotion perception than positive schizophrenics. As more is learned about the relationship among the diverse behavioral dysfunctions that characterize schizophrenics, more comprehensive psychosocial-rehabilitation programs can be developed.
