To address whether the recognition of emotional facial expressions is impaired in schizophrenia across different cultures, patients with schizophrenia and age-matched normal controls in France and Japan were tested with a labeling task of emotional facial expressions and a matching task of unfamiliar faces. Schizophrenia patients in both France and Japan were less accurate in labeling fearful facial expressions. There was no correlation between the scores of facial emotion labeling and face matching. These results suggest that the impaired recognition of emotional facial expressions in schizophrenia is common across different cultures.
为了探讨精神分裂症患者对情绪性面部表情的识别在不同文化中是否受损，研究人员对法国和日本的精神分裂症患者以及年龄匹配的正常对照者进行了情绪性面部表情标签任务和陌生面孔匹配任务测试。法国和日本的精神分裂症患者在标注恐惧面部表情时准确性较低。面部情绪标签得分与面孔匹配得分之间没有相关性。这些结果表明，精神分裂症患者对情绪性面部表情的识别受损在不同文化中是普遍存在的。
