Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia may reflect an interactive network of disturbances in cognition. In this study we have examined the relationship between two forms of cognition: metacognition and social cognition among a sample with schizophrenia (n? = 41), early episode psychosis (n? = 37), and major depression (n? = 30) gathered in Moscow, Russia. METHODS: Metacognition was assessed with the Metacognition Assessment Scale-Abbreviated. Social cognition was assessed with the Ekman 60 Faces Test and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Verbal memory and global psychopathology were included as potential covariates. RESULTS: Partial correlations controlling for demographics, neurocognition, and psychopathology revealed greater metacognitive capacity was linked to better facial emotion recognition and perspective taking in the prolonged schizophrenia group. Greater metacognitive capacity in the early psychosis group was linked with greater facial emotion recognition. Metacognition and social cognition were not related to one another in the depression group. CONCLUSIONS: Social cognition and metacognition may be uniquely related in psychosis.
