The aim of this study was to examine emotional recognition (prosodic and visual) in anorexia nervosa.
Thirty people with anorexia nervosa and a comparison group of 30 healthy women were tested with facial and vocal stimuli that expressed specific emotions and they were given a neutral task.
The group of women with anorexia nervosa was poor at emotional recognition. This was most marked for negative emotions in faces and for both positive and negative emotions in voices. This decreased ability to recognize negative affect in faces remained even after adjustment for confounding variables such as age, education, and depression.
People with anorexia nervosa have difficulty recognizing emotions from facial expression and vocal tone. This may contribute to poor interpersonal communication and a lack of empathy, both of which are associated with anorexia nervosa patients.
本研究旨在探讨神经性厌食症患者的情绪识别（韵律和视觉方面）。
对30名神经性厌食症患者和30名健康女性组成的对照组进行测试，使用表达特定情绪的面部和声音刺激，并给予他们一项中性任务。
神经性厌食症女性组在情绪识别方面表现较差。这在面部的负面情绪以及声音中的正面和负面情绪方面最为明显。即使在对年龄、教育程度和抑郁等混杂变量进行调整后，面部识别负面情绪的能力下降仍然存在。
神经性厌食症患者在从面部表情和语调中识别情绪方面存在困难。这可能导致人际沟通不良和缺乏同理心，而这两者都与神经性厌食症患者有关。
