Rapid and accurate trustworthiness judgments are important during successful day-to-day social interactions because they can influence the decision whether to approach someone and initiate social interaction. The aim of the present study was to analyze associations between these judgments and self-reported and clinician-rated social functioning. The sample consisted of 48 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and 35 healthy controls matched for age, gender, and educational level. A trustworthiness task, subjective, and clinician-rated scales for social functioning were administered to both samples. Trustworthiness judgments did not differ between patients and healthy controls. Both groups were able to discriminate between trustworthy and untrustworthy faces. Trustworthiness ratings were associated with self-reported and clinician-rated measures of interpersonal functioning in patients with schizophrenia. Despite the absence of differences between groups, in patients with schizophrenia, a tendency to mistrust based on facial appearance was related to worse functional outcome, predominantly in the domain of disturbed interpersonal functioning. This study highlights the importance of future research into social–cognitive biases in schizophrenia.

可信度判断与精神分裂症患者的人际关系有关

快速而准确的可信赖度判断在成功的日常社交互动中非常重要，因为它们会影响是否与某人接触并启动社交互动的决策。本研究的目的是分析这些判断与自我报告的和临床医师评价的社会功能之间的关联。该样本包括48位精神分裂症谱系障碍患者和35位年龄，性别和教育水平相匹配的健康对照。对这两个样本都执行了一项可信赖的任务，主观判断和临床医师对社交功能的评估。患者和健康对照组之间的可信度判断没有差异。两组都能够区分值得信赖和不值得信赖的面孔。可信度评定与精神分裂症患者的人际功能自我报告和临床医师评定有关。尽管各组之间没有差异，但是在精神分裂症患者中，基于面部外观的不信任倾向与较差的功能预后相关，主要是在人际功能紊乱的领域。这项研究强调了未来对精神分裂症的社会认知偏见进行研究的重要性。
