“…Buck et al suggested that the psychometric properties of the AIHQ could be improved by expanding self-report items and removing the open-ended questions [35]. The Singaporean psychometric evaluation study conducted by Lim et al showed more favorable results for the AIHQ, further suggesting its utility [15]. The SAT-MC was not included in the initially planned selection of seven tasks but was chosen as the highest rated among candidate social perception tasks.…”

“…Until recently, social cognition research in Asian populations has been limited to specific domains or been inconsistent in its choice of measures [12][13][14]. Following the SCOPE study, Lim et al conducted a psychometric evaluation study examining a similar array of social cognition tasks with Singaporean schizophrenia patients and healthy controls [15]. All participants were fluent in English, and tasks were registered verbatim, without any modifications to the original English versions.…”

Social cognition is strongly linked to social functioning outcomes, making it a promising treatment target. Because social cognition measures tend to be sensitive to linguistic and cultural differences, existing measures should be evaluated based on their relevance for Japanese populations. We aimed to establish an expert consensus on the use of social cognition measures in Japanese populations to provide grounds for clinical use and future treatment development. We assembled a panel of experts in the fields of schizophrenia, social psychology, social neuroscience, and developmental disorders. The panel engaged in a modified Delphi process to (1) affirm expert consensus on the definition of social cognition and its constituent domains, (2) determine criteria to evaluate measures, and (3) identify measures appropriate for Japanese patients with a view toward future quantitative research. Through two online voting rounds and two online video conferences, the panel agreed upon a definition and four-domain framework for social cognition consistent with recent literature. Evaluation criteria for measures included feasibility and tolerability, reliability, clinical effectiveness, validity, and international comparability. The panel finally identified nine promising measures, including one task originally developed in Japan. In conclusion, we established an expert consensus on key discussion points in social cognition and arrived at an expert-selected set of measures. We hope that this work facilitates the use of these measures in Japanese clinical scenarios. We plan to further examine these measures in a psychometric evaluation study.

“…An AEI test needs to cover a broad sphere of capabilities (perceiving, expressing, understanding, and managing emotions) in both personal and social functioning (Matthews, Zeidner, & Roberts, 2012;Mayer et al, 2008). Testing intelligence requires to measure the whole framework and not just a few parameters of it (Nafukho, 2010), and, in the future AEI research, it is, therefore, necessary to assess AEI using different tests (by every single branch -perceiving, using, understanding, and managing) rather than a single and broader AEI measure, due to the construct validity issues (Lim, Lee, Pinkham, Lam, & Lee, 2019).…”

Since emotional intelligence (EI) was developed in 1990, the field of Education took advantage of the possibilities of EI. Indeed, EI-specific programs proliferated and developed as socio-emotional learning programs (SEL). However, there is an alternative to realize non-specifically and longer and viability way for improving the implicit abilities of EI (AEI). The article claims to work a theoretical proposal to develop the AEI in compulsory education through the subjects. This proposal is based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of cognitive abilities (CHC). CHC abilities are stimulated by most of the mandatory subjects of both Primary and Secondary Schools. The second stratum of CHC model is composed of similar cognitive abilities as 1997-Ability Emotional Intelligence Model (perception, using, understanding, and managing emotions), which is different from trait EI approaches - that consider EI has personality traits as well. It has pointed out that the capacities of the CHC-model second stratum are connected to the capabilities of AEI. Therefore, any educational activity that optimizes perception, understanding, attentional control or planning is affecting the development of AEI. Promoting AEI involves hot information processing. It is convenient to use transversely hot information processing - this means that this information has special meaning for the people. Connecting hot information to mandatory subjects teaching would develop the abilities of EI. Both Sciences and Natural Sciences pedagogic devices can improve emotional perception. However, Social Sciences and Humanities foster both emotional understanding and knowledge. Finally, the different contingencies that occur in school life scenarios are suitable for training of emotional regulation.

“…In fact, there has been little effort to test the reliability and validity of the measures recommended by the SCOPE study in languages other than English or in cultural areas outside of the United States. A 2020 study of reliability and validity in Singapore by Lim et al found that even among people who use English as a common language, reliability and validity results may differ by cultural area [ 9 ]. Going forward, as therapies are developed for social cognition, it will be absolutely paramount to examine the effects of cultural differences in the underlying assessments of social cognition.…”

In schizophrenia, social cognitive impairment is considered one of the greatest obstacles to social participation. Although numerous measures have been developed to assess social cognition, only a limited number of them have become available in Japan. We are therefore planning this evaluation study for social cognition measures in Japan (ESCoM) to confirm their psychometric characteristics and to promote research focused on social cognition. Participants in the cross-sectional observational study will be 140 patients with schizophrenia recruited from three Japanese facilities and 70 healthy individuals. In our primary analysis, we will calculate several psychometric indicators with a focus on whether they can independently predict social functioning. In secondary analyses, we will assess the reliability and validity of the Japanese translations of each measure and conduct an exploratory investigation of patient background, psychiatric symptoms, defeatist performance belief, and gut microbiota as determinants of social cognition. The protocol for this study is registered in UMIN-CTR, unique ID UMIN000043777.
