This study was aimed to evaluate the Emotional Intelligence (EI) of a group of patients with first episode psychosis in Iran as compared with a healthy control group. A case-control design was used. EI was assessed using Persian version of Bar-On Emotional Quotient inventory (EQ-i) administered on 25 patients with history of a single psychotic episode in the last two years, as well as 64 healthy participants. The mean (±SD) of EI scores of patients' and healthy controls' group was 319.8 (±40.9) and 328.8 (±33.3), respectively. Two-independent sample t-test revealed no significant difference in the EI scores of two groups (P=0.29). In contrast with chronic schizophrenia, the patients with first-episode psychosis were not different from the healthy subjects in terms of emotional intelligence score. It might be implied that the low emotional intelligence of the patients with chronic psychotic disorders is an accumulative result of the underlying disease over time.
本研究旨在评估伊朗一组首发精神病患者与健康对照组相比的情商（EI）。采用病例对照设计。使用波斯语版的巴昂情商量表（EQ-i）对25名在过去两年中有单次精神病发作史的患者以及64名健康参与者进行情商评估。患者组和健康对照组的情商得分均值（±标准差）分别为319.8（±40.9）和328.8（±33.3）。两独立样本t检验显示两组的情商得分无显著差异（P = 0.29）。与慢性精神分裂症患者相比，首发精神病患者在情商得分方面与健康受试者无异。这可能意味着慢性精神病性障碍患者的低情商是基础疾病随时间累积的结果。
