Journal ArticleDOI
Best practices: The development of the Social Cognition and Interaction Training program for schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: Initial pilot testing of 17 inpatients showed that SCIT was associated with improved emotion perception, improved theory of mind, and a reduced tendency to attribute hostile intent to others, with effect sizes being in the medium-large range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotion recognition in schizophrenia: further investigation of generalized versus specific deficit models.
David L. Penn,Dennis R. Combs,Mark Ritchie,Jennifer L. Francis,Jeffrey E. Cassisi,Scott B. Morris,Mark H. Townsend +6 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the nature of emotion perception in schizophrenia and found that the acutely ill sample had a specific deficit in emotion perception that remained present after controlling for performance on the general perception tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social perception in schizophrenia: the role of context
TL;DR: Task performance for the group with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder was relatively independent of symptoms, but was related to social functioning in the treatment setting, and the ecological validity of these measures was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, controlled trial of Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT) for outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders
David L. Roberts,Dennis R. Combs,Michael T. Willoughby,Jim Mintz,Clare M. Gibson,Betty M Rupp,David L. Penn +6 more
TL;DR: Dose-response findings suggest that delivering social cognitive interventions with greater frequency may maximize their benefit to patients, and primary analyses suggest that SCIT may improve social functioning, negative symptoms, and possibly hostile attributional bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of affect perception deficits in schizophrenia.
David L. Penn,Dennis R. Combs +1 more
TL;DR: All groups of subjects, with the exception of those in the repeated practice group, improved in their ability to identify facial affect, with these effects showing some stability over time.
