“…While psychotic symptoms lead to a proportion of aggressive acts , there are various other causes including: co‐morbid alcohol and substance use disorders ; family history of violence ; emotions such as anger and anxiety; impulsivity ; cognitive impairments [i.e. theory of mind (ToM), face affect recognition (FAR) deficits] ; childhood problems and antisocial and other personality pathology , which all contribute to aggression during FEP . Psychotic patients with such comorbidity may require different interventions over and above simply compliance with treatment for positive symptoms and substance abuse .…”

Psychotic patients with such comorbidity may require different interventions over and above simply compliance with treatment for positive symptoms and substance abuse . Unfortunately, the studies we identified here lacked information regarding such aetiological heterogeneity, and whether specific interventions were provided to reduce aggression.…”

“…Elles permettent à l'observateur d'inférer les états émotionnels ainsi que les intentions d'autrui et d'anticiper ses gestes, mais aussi de réguler ses propres comportements en conséquence. Ainsi, l'aptitude à reconnaître les émotions influence les capacités d'adaptation à l'environnement et de ce fait, constitue une habileté indispensable au fonctionnement interpersonnel de l'individu (Barbeau et al, 2009 ;Blair, 2003Blair, , 2005Labruyère et Hubert, 2009 ;Malone, Carroll et Murphy, 2012).…”

“…Cela étant, il semble que l'incapacité à interpréter correctement l'état affectif d'autrui aurait des conséquences considérables sur la socialisation de l'individu (Barbeau et al, 2009 ;Jovev et al, 2011 ;Snowden, Craig et Gray, 2012). Des déficits dans la REF seraient liés à des troubles dans le développement de l'empathie, ce qui, à long terme, pourrait conduire au développement de comportements antisociaux et même violents (Blair, 2003 ;Malone et al, 2012 ;Richell et al, 2003 ;Sharp, 2008).…”

Bien que des photographies d’expressions émotionnelles faciales soient couramment utilisées pour étudier le traitement des informations affectives, les ensembles de stimuli actuels comportent différentes limites méthodologiques. Dans la perspective d’améliorer la validité écologique des travaux sur la reconnaissance émotionnelle faciale (REF), l’étude propose un nouvel ensemble de stimuli dynamiques constitué de personnages virtuels exprimant les six émotions fondamentales à différentes intensités. La validation préliminaire des stimuli a été effectuée en les comparant aux stimuli du POFA. Dans l’étude 1, le contenu émotionnel de 84 avatars statiques et de 48 photographies du POFA a été évalué par 150 étudiants. Dans l’étude 2, la REF a été évaluée chez 134 étudiants à l’aide d’avatars dynamiques. L’habileté à reconnaître les émotions est similaire à celle rapportée dans la littérature scientifique ainsi qu’au POFA. Les résultats permettent de conclure que les avatars constituent un ensemble valide de stimuli pour étudier la REF, offrant une contribution significative dans le domaine de la recherche émotionnelle. L’usage d’avatars étant de plus en plus courant à des fins d’intervention et de recherche, les stimuli ouvrent aussi la voie à diverses applications, entre autres pour l’étude des comportements violents. D’autres travaux devront être réalisés afin de poursuivre leur validation.Even though pictures of facial expressions are increasingly being used in research on how emotional information is processed, the existing sets of images have several methodological weaknesses. In order to increase the validity of studies on facial affect recognition (FAR), we created a new set of dynamic stimuli that uses virtual characters to display the six basic emotions at different levels of intensity. Preliminary validation was obtained by comparing the new images with the empirically validated Pictures of Facial Affect. In study 1, the emotional content of 84 avatars and 48 pictures from POFA was evaluated by 150 undergraduate students. In study 2, a sample of 134 undergraduate students evaluated FAR based on animated characters. The ability to identify facial expressions of emotions was similar to that reported in previous studies and for POFA. The results show that the avatars provide valid stimuli for studying FAR and are a significant contribution to the field of research on emotions. Avatars are being increasingly used in both treatment and research and these new stimuli can be used in various ways, for instance, to study violent behavior. Other work should be undertaken to ensure their validity.Si bien las fotografías de expresiones emocionales faciales son utilizadas corrientemente con el fin de estudiar el procesamiento de informaciones afectivas, el conjunto de estímulos actuales conlleva diferentes límites metodológicos.

“…Poor affect recognition in schizophrenia spectrum disorders also appears to be associated with violent and criminal behaviour and childhood sexual abuse (Lysaker et al, ; Weiss et al, ). To integrate these various influencing factors Malone, Carroll, and Murphy () suggested a social information processing framework, taking into account possible mediators of the relationship between aggression and psychosis including positive symptoms, psychopathic personality traits, childhood trauma and substance use, and suggested that this model may also help to explain increased vulnerability to victimization in this population. Specifically, they proposed that individuals with psychosis consistently demonstrate impairments in FAR accompanied by deficits in encoding and interpreting social interactions, and that these may interact with other pre‐disposing factors to increase vulnerability to both victimization and aggressive behaviour (Dodge, ).…”

Aims: This exploratory study is the first to examine previously identified variables of increased vulnerability to victimization, the prevalence of aggression in a cohort of patients with first-episode psychosis and the potential impact of impairments in facial affect recognition (FAR) on victimization.Methods: Sixty-nine male participants completed assessments of IQ, substance use, psychopathy, childhood trauma, aggressive behaviour and psychopathology. Participants were asked about violent victimization in the past year and charges for violent offences. FAR was assessed using the Animated Full Facial Comprehension Test.Results: The victimized group (n = 25) had significantly higher psychopathy traits (P = .042) and lower recognition of sadness (P < .01) compared to the non-victimized group (n = 44). Participants who reported charges for violent offences (n = 15) had significantly higher scores on measures of physical abuse in childhood (P < .01), substance use (P < .05 for cannabis, P < .001 for cocaine and amphetamine use), psychopathy traits (P < .01), psychopathology (P = .031) and lifetime aggressive behaviour (P < .01). The logistic regression models using FAR sadness and Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R) total score as predictors for victimization (χ 2 [2] = 13.81, P = .001; Nagelkerke R 2 = .30) and using physical abuse in childhood, PPI-R total score, and psychopathology as predictors for violent offences (χ 2 [3] = 14.89, P = .002; Nagelkerke R 2 = .36) were significant. Conclusions: These findings highlight the value of considering victimization in psychotic illness from a social information processing perspective in addition to known clinical and lifestyle factors. Based on these results, future studies could explore the use of affect recognition training early in the course of the illness as a possible intervention to reduce victimization.
