Many psychiatric disorders and associated psychopathology dimensions are related to social cognitive deficits and reduced general cognitive ability. The current study applied a hierarchical, dimensional approach to better understand associations among psychopathology, social cognition, and general cognitive ability. Data were collected from two samples (n = 653), including psychosis-spectrum patients, their first-degree relatives, and individuals from community sources. Participants completed dimensional psychopathology measures and social cognition tasks (e.g., emotion perception and mentalizing). Data were analyzed using bi-factor exploratory structural equation modeling. Detachment-a psychopathology dimension conceptually linked to social functioning-was associated with worse social cognition, independent of general cognitive ability. Eccentricity and Machiavellianism were associated with better social cognition and general cognitive ability. Findings-and the hierarchical, dimensional approach employed-will be useful in informing future research on and interventions for social dysfunction.
许多精神疾病及相关的精神病理学维度与社会认知缺陷和一般认知能力下降有关。本研究采用分层维度方法，以更好地理解精神病理学、社会认知和一般认知能力之间的关联。数据来自两个样本（n = 653），包括精神病谱系患者、他们的一级亲属以及社区来源的个体。参与者完成了维度精神病理学测量和社会认知任务（如情绪感知和心理化）。使用双因素探索性结构方程模型对数据进行分析。超脱——一个在概念上与社会功能相关的精神病理学维度——与较差的社会认知相关，与一般认知能力无关。怪癖和马基雅维利主义与较好的社会认知和一般认知能力相关。研究结果以及所采用的分层维度方法将有助于为未来关于社会功能障碍的研究和干预提供信息。
