Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the recognition of facial emotions and cognitive biases in people with body dysmorphic disorder and people without body dysmorphic disorder. Method: The method of the present study was causal-comparative.The statistical population of the present study included all people with body dysmorphic disorder in the age group of 25 to 35 years in 2019. The research sample included 70 people (35 people in each group) who were selected by available sampling methods. Data was collected using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (Phillips et al. 1997), The Interpretations Questionnaire-modified (IQ-modified; adapted from Buhlmann et al. 2002), and the Facial Emotions Recognition Test (Ekman & Friesen, 1976). The data was analyzed using t-test and non-parametric Friedman test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference (P <0.01) between people with body dysmorphic disorder and People without body dysmorphic disorder in cognitive biases. Also, there was a significant difference (P <0.01) between the two groups of individuals without body dysmorphic disorder and individuals with body dysmorphic disorder in the component of recognizing facial emotions. Conclusion: The results of the statistical analysis showed that people with body dysmorphic disorder have more and more negative body-related cognitive biases compared to people without body dysmorphic disorder. Also, people with body dysmorphic disorder  perform weaker than people without body dysmorphic disorder in recognizing facial emotions except sadness. It seems that these variables play an essential role in the formation and continuation of this disorder.
