Abstract

This study investigated the social appropriateness and perspective of inpatient schizophrenics, nonschizophrenic inpatients and a normal control group by role-playing in mock social situations. Schizophrenics were rated significantly lower on social appropriateness than normals and showed an impaired perspective of self behavior. Schizophrenics rated their own behavior of social appropriateness to a higher degree than did judges, but normals rated their own behavior lower than did judges. Schizophrenics were able to appraise the behavior of others' social appropriateness but had difficulty in appraising the socially inappropriate behavior of others. Schizophrenics showed particular impairment when judging their own social behavior. The nonschizophrenics inpatient group also showed significant social inappropriateness and an impaired perspective of self behavior in the general situation. But there was no problem with the nonschizophrenics perspective of the social behavior of other persons. The results indicate that a rehabilitation program with schizophrenics needs to particulary focus on a perspecitive of self.
