Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by perceived appearance-related defects, often tied to aspects of the face or head (e.g., acne). Deficits in decoding emotional expressions have been examined in several psychological disorders including BDD. Previous research indicates that BDD is associated with impaired facial emotion recognition, particularly in situations that involve the BDD sufferer him/herself. The purpose of this study was to further evaluate the ability to read other people's emotions among 31 individuals with BDD, and 31 mentally healthy controls. We applied the Reading the Mind in the Eyes task, in which participants are presented with a series of pairs of eyes, one at a time, and are asked to identify the emotion that describes the stimulus best. The groups did not differ with respect to decoding other people's emotions by looking into their eyes. Findings are discussed in light of previous research examining emotion recognition in BDD.
躯体变形障碍（BDD）的特征是感知到与外貌相关的缺陷，这些缺陷通常与面部或头部的某些方面有关（例如，痤疮）。在包括 BDD 在内的几种心理障碍中，已经研究了情绪表达解码的缺陷。以前的研究表明，BDD 与面部情绪识别受损有关，尤其是在涉及 BDD 患者自身的情况下。本研究的目的是进一步评估 31 名 BDD 患者和 31 名心理健康对照者识别他人情绪的能力。我们应用了“读心术眼动任务”，在该任务中，参与者一次呈现一对眼睛，并被要求识别最能描述刺激的情绪。两组在通过观察眼睛来解码他人的情绪方面没有差异。研究结果与以前研究 BDD 中的情绪识别的研究进行了讨论。
