Abstract
This study examined the performance of both schizophrenic (N = 13) and nonschizophrenic patients (N = 7), as well as that of a nonpatient contrast group (N = 18), on standardized measures of both social perception and social skill. Social judgment and self-perception also were examined. Schizophrenics were less skillful and less socially perceptive than members of both other groups. Members of the nonschizophrenic patient group also were significantly impaired on the dependent measures when compared to contrast subjects. Results point to the multi-component nature of skills deficits in schizophrenics. Implications for assessment and treatment programs on communication skills training with schizophrenics are discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
