Challenges in social functioning are a major obstacle in the recovery process of persons with serious mental illness. Majority of social functioning measures use self-report assessments. To validate the use of a performance based measure and examine a network analysis that explores the centrality of items. In addition, to explore the distinctiveness between the social skills performance assessment (SSPA), and a self-report measure of social quality of life (SQoL). One hundred fifty eight participants were administrated with the SSPA and SQoL scale. Intra-class correlation, Pearson correlation and Network analysis were performed. A differentiation between the SQoL items and the SSPA items appeared. The strongest nodes in the network were social appropriateness (7.413), focus (7.763) and clarity (7.438) from the SSPA measure. The nodes rated highest on the betweenness measure were affect from the SSPA and satisfaction with getting along with other people from the SQoL scale. Interventions should target the skills of focus, clarity and social appropriateness as they present the central items in the network.
社会功能障碍是严重精神疾病患者康复过程中的主要障碍。大多数社会功能测量都使用自我报告评估。本研究旨在验证基于表现的测量方法的有效性，并进行网络分析，以探讨项目的中心性。此外，还探讨了社会技能表现评估（SSPA）和社会生活质量（SQoL）自我报告测量之间的区别。158 名参与者接受了 SSPA 和 SQoL 量表的评估。进行了组内相关、皮尔逊相关和网络分析。在 SQoL 项目和 SSPA 项目之间出现了分化。网络中最强的节点是 SSPA 测量中的社交适宜性（7.413）、专注（7.763）和清晰（7.438）。在介数测量中得分最高的节点是 SSPA 的情感和 SQoL 量表中与他人相处的满意度。干预措施应针对专注、清晰和社交适宜性技能，因为它们是网络中的中心项目。
