Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare social recognition and Facial Emotion Recognition in patients with newly diagnosed and chronic schizophrenia. Method: current study is a causal-comparative study. The statistical population of this study included all patients with hospitalized and outpatient schizophrenia referring to Fajr and Razi clinical centers and hospitals in Tabriz city in 2016. The sample consisted of 120 patients who were selected through available sampling. To collect data, Westen's social cognition scale and Ekman and Fareis's facial emotion recognition test were used. Results: The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between social cognition and facial emotion recognition in patients with newly diagnosed and chronic schizophrenia .Individual with chronic schizophrenia was better than newly diagnosed schizophrenia. Conclusion: These findings suggest that deficiencies in social cognition and facial affective recognition in newly diagnosed schizophrenia can be associated with inability and affect their social and occupational functioning.
