“…Furthermore, abnormal visual scanning of emotional stimuli was found in siblings of patients with schizophrenia (Loughland et al, 2004). Moreover, healthy siblings performed better than patients but worse than controls on emotion identification and discrimination tests (Erol et al, 2010), which promotes the hypothesis of the trait-like nature of emotion recognition deficits.…”

“…The TAS had good psychometric properties (Cronbach"s alpha 0.81; test-retest reliability 0.77). (Kerr & Neale, 1993;Erol, Mete, Sonmez, Unal, 2010) The FEIT is an interactive computer task containing facial expression stimuli (posed by actors) associated with 6 basic emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise), and neutral faces. The task includes 55 black and white photos presented on a computer screen for 15 seconds, then immediately replaced by a blank screen.…”

Alexithymia, empathy, emotion identification and social inference in anorexia nervosa: A case-control study

et al. 2016

Alexithymia, difficulties in facial emotion recognition, poor socio-relational skills are typical of Anorexia Nervosa (AN). We assessed patients with AN and healthy controls (HCs) with mixed stimuli: questionnaires (Toronto Alexithymia Scale-TAS, Interpersonal Reactivity Index-IRI), photographs (Facial Emotion Identification Test-FEIT) and dynamic images (The Awareness of Social Inference Test-TASIT). TAS and IRI Personal Distress (PD) were higher in AN than HCs.Few or no differences emerged at the FEIT and TASIT, respectively. Despite higher levels of alexithymia, patients with AN seem to properly acknowledge others' emotions while being inhibited in the expression of their own.

“…Six studies did not find differences between men and women on an identification task [31,76,[80][81][82][83] or on a discrimination task [80] . Two studies found that women, across diagnostic groups of first-degree relatives, outperformed men on FEP identification tasks [84,85] .…”

“…We found one study through our PubMed literature search that examined FEP in two clinical high risk groups (one group with prodromal symptoms and another group of unaffected firstdegree relatives); results indicated no sex differences in performance on either an identification or discrimination FEP task [86] . In sum, of 10 studies that examined sex differences in samples that included a group of unaffected firstdegree relatives of people with schizophrenia, eight did not find sex differences on either identification or discrimination tasks [31,73,76,[80][81][82][83]86] . Two studies found that women, including first-degree relatives, people with schizophrenia, and healthy controls, outperformed men on an identification FEP task [84,85] .…”

AIM:To review the literature on sex differences in facial emotion perception (FEP) across the schizophrenia spectrum. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review of empirical articles that were included in five separate meta-analyses of FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum, including meta-analyses that predominantly examined adults with chronic schizophrenia, people with early (onset prior to age 18) or recent-onset (experiencing their first or second psychotic episode or illness duration less than 2 years) schizophrenia, and unaffected first-degree relatives of people with schizophrenia. We also examined articles written in English (from November 2011 through June 2015) that were not included in the aforementioned metaanalyses through a literature search in the PubMed database. All relevant articles were accessed in full text. We examined all studies to determine the sample sizes, diagnostic characteristics, demographic information, methodologies, results, and whether each individual study reported on sex differences. The results from the meta-analyses themselves as well as the individual studies are reported in tables and text. RESULTS:We retrieved 134 articles included in five separate meta-analyses and the PubMed database that examined FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum. Of these articles, 38 examined sex differences in FEP. Thirty of these studies did not find sex differences in FEP in either chronically ill adults with schizophrenia, early-onset or recently diagnosed people with schizophrenia, or first-degree relatives of people with schizophrenia. Of the eight studies that found sex differences in FEP, three found that chronically ill women outperformed men, one study found that girls with early-onset schizophrenia outperformed boys, and two studies found that women (including first-degree relatives, adults with schizophrenia, and the healthy control group) outperformed men on FEP tasks. In total, six of the eight studies that examined sex differences in FEP found that women outperformed men across the SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS Core tip: People with schizophrenia exhibit deficits in facial emotion perception (FEP) compared to healthy controls. These deficits are associated with poorer functioning and more severe symptoms. Although the literature to date suggests that there are few sex differences in FEP in schizophrenia, continued assessment of sex differences in FEP can help researchers and clinicians better understand other sex differences in the disorder and assist in treatment development aimed at improving functioning in people with schizophrenia. This review summarizes and critically evaluates the literature on FEP across the schizophrenia spectrum, focusing on the evidence related to sex differences in FEP.Mote J, Kring AM.

Facial emotion recognition in patients with schizophrenia and their siblings

Abstract: Impaired performance of siblings on facial emotion identification and discrimination tasks provides evidence for the hypothesis that facial emotion recognition deficits are transmitted in families and may represent a heritable endophenotype of schizophrenia.
