Eye contact is an essential means of nonverbal communication, providing information about attention, emotion, mental state, facial expressions, and identity/gender (Itier & Batty, 2009). Although studies suggest that patients with schizophrenia endorse direct gaze more often than controls in ambiguous gaze circumstances, gaze perception in schizotypy remains unstudied. This study investigated whether individuals with positive schizotypic features incorrectly perceive that others are looking at them and whether this is related to referential thinking and psychosocial functioning. Schizotypic individuals (n = 33) and controls (n = 29) completed a newly developed measure of gaze perception, a cone of gaze task (Gamer & Hecht, 2007). Results reveal that individuals in the schizotypy group report feeling as though they are being looked at across a wider range of angles than controls. Consistent with our hypotheses, this wider cone of gaze is associated with increased referential thinking and poorer psychosocial functioning. (PsycINFO Database Record
眼神交流是一种重要的非言语交际方式，提供了关于注意力、情感、心理状态、面部表情和身份/性别（Itier 和 Batty，2009）的信息。尽管研究表明，精神分裂症患者在模棱两可的注视情况下比对照组更频繁地表示直接注视，但在精神分裂症特质方面的注视感知仍未得到研究。本研究调查了具有阳性精神分裂症特征的个体是否错误地认为别人在看着他们，以及这是否与参照思维和心理社会功能有关。精神分裂症特质个体（n=33）和对照组（n=29）完成了一项新开发的注视感知测量，即注视锥任务（Gamer 和 Hecht，2007）。结果表明，精神分裂症特质组的个体报告说，他们感觉自己被注视的角度比对照组更广泛。与我们的假设一致，这种更广泛的注视锥与增加的参照思维和较差的心理社会功能有关。（PsycINFO 数据库记录
