“…But other three-dimensions (Empathic concern, Perceptive-taking and Fantasy) shows notably lower which is consistent with the literature by Fengfeng Zhang [27]. Also, the results of self-reports are opposed to behavioral tests [31]. The discrepancy in personal distress might be cultural difference.…”

“…This need to be further explored. Of note, some findings revealed patients with schizophrenia had significant deficiencies in fantasy ability, but others indicated the ability was intact or they can experience richer [31]. Likewise, that is possible to directly linked to positive symptoms like illusions and delusions.…”

Background Some articles revealed a relationship between empathy and felt-musical emotion in normal people. Whether the dysfunction of felt-musical emotion exist in schizophrenics is not clear, but several findings indicated these patients had impairments of all-round empathy. The objective of our research is to explore musical felt emotion elicited by music(sad/happy) of schizophrenics and compare the differences between schizophrenic patients and normal subjects; at the same time, we investigated the association between clinical symptoms, empathy and musical felt emotion in schizophrenic patients. Methods We recruited 47 people with schizophrenic and 47 matched normal subjects who met the criteria to complete our semi-structured interview, musical emotion experience test and other behavioral tests. The IRI-C(Chinese version of Interpersonal Reactivity Index test) was used to assess the empathy of the subjects. In addition, the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were also filled out. Results In line with previous findings, part of emotional experience of happy and sad music in schizophrenic patients is impaired. With respect of empathy dimensions, we found the higher the fantasy ability is, the easier schizophrenics are to experience Romantic with the stimulation of happy/sad music. In addition, there are some relationships between clinical symptoms and music experience. Conclusion This conclusion may provide us subsequent idea, if we enhance the romantic emotion of schizophrenics on happy music experience via certain ways that may be beneficial to improve the level of their Empathy and fantasy-dimension.

“…In schizophrenia, deficits in social cognition and metacognition lead to poor social functioning and isolation [9]. Plenty of studies so far demonstrated a clear empathic deficit in all empathic domains in schizophrenia [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In these studies, empathic deficits were assessed with different methods, ranging from computer tasks to self-report questionnaires, all detecting significant empathic impairments in patients.…”

Empathy is important for successful social interaction and maintaining relationships. Several studies detected impairments in empathic abilities in schizophrenia, with some even indicating a broader deficit in several components, including emotion recognition, perspective taking, and affective responsiveness. The aim of our study was to validate a short version of the previous empathy paradigm as a reliable and easily applicable method to assess empathic deficits in patients with schizophrenia potentially within clinical routine. To do so, we applied the short version to 30 patients (14 females) diagnosed with schizophrenia meeting the DSM-5 criteria and 30 well-matched healthy controls (14 females). The data analysis indicates a significant empathic deficit in patients due to worse performance in all three domains. We managed to replicate most of the findings of our previous study. In contrary to the previous study, significant correlations between performance in the empathy tasks and psychopathology occurred: the severity of negative symptoms was negatively associated with performance in the emotion recognition task and the affective responsiveness task. Gender did not significantly affect performance in the empathy tasks. Regarding the results, our short empathy paradigm appears to be a valid method in assessing empathic impairments in schizophrenia that may be useful in clinical routine.

Bu çalışmada şizofreni hastalarında yüzdeki duygulanımı tanımaya eşlik eden prefrontal korteks (PFK) aktivitesini incelemeyi ve bu aktivitenin zihin kuramı bozukluğu ve klinik belirtilerle ilişkili olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: İşlevsel yakın kızılötesi spektroskopi (fNIRS) ile frontal kortikal aktiviteyi ölçmek için yüzdeki duygulanım ifadelerinden oluşan standart bir fotoğraf kümesi ile oluşturulan bir nörogörüntüleme görevi kullanılmıştır. DSM-IV'e göre şizofreni ve şizofreniform bozukluk tanısı konan 27 hasta [vaka grubu (VG)] ve 25 sağlıklı kontrol vakasından [Kontrol Grubu (KG)] elde edilen veriler karşılaştırılmıştır. Kontrol koşulu yüzdeki non-afektif değişiklikleri saptama şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Sonra PFK aktivitesiyle klinik belirtiler ve yanlış inancı anlama, pot kırmayı anlama, imayı anlama becerileri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Prefrontal aktivite afektif ve non-afektif koşulda VG'de KG'ye göre daha yüksek; sosyal bilişsel işlevlerse VG'de, KG'den düşük bulunmuştur. Sosyal bilişsel işlevlerle PFK aktivitesi arasında bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Her iki grupta da eğitim durumu ve yaşla PFK aktivitesi arasında korelasyon saptanmamıştır. VG'de Pozitif Belirti Değerlendirme Ölçeği (PBDÖ) varsanı toplam puanı, sağ ventral prefrontal korteks (VPFK) ve sağ medial prefrontal korteks (mPFK) aktiviteleriyle ilişkili bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Şizofrenide yüze ait değişikliklerin saptanması sırasında ortaya çıkan bir hiperfrontaliteden söz edilebilir. Bulgular şizofreni hastalarının yüzdeki afektif ve non-afektif değişiklikleri tanımada aynı performansı sergileyebilmek için sağlıklı kişilere göre daha fazla frontal kaynağa gereksinim duyduğu yönünde yorumlanabilir. Şizofrenide varsanılarla yüzdeki ifadeyi işleme arasında bir ilişki olabilir.
