Acute schizophrenics, chronic schizophrenics, psychiatric controls and patients with a depressive illness were asked to judge which of two faces in photographs was the more friendly. Acute schizophrenics disagreed significantly with the other three groups of subjects whilst agreeing with them on a control task of perceptual judgement involving colours. In a second experiment a new group of acute schizophrenics disagreed with remitted psychotics and psychotic depressives in judging friendliness and meanness but agreed with these control groups in judging age of the faces. The findings are presented as a potentially fruitful area for research on psychological deficits in schizophrenia.
研究人员要求急性精神分裂症患者、慢性精神分裂症患者、精神科对照者以及患有抑郁症的患者判断照片中两张脸哪一张看起来更友善。急性精神分裂症患者在这一判断上与其他三组受试者存在显著差异，而在涉及颜色的感知判断对照任务上，他们与其他三组的判断一致。在第二项实验中，一组新的急性精神分裂症患者在判断友善和刻薄程度方面与康复的精神病患者及精神病性抑郁症患者意见不同，但在判断脸部年龄方面与这些对照组意见一致。这些研究结果表明，这是一个在精神分裂症心理缺陷研究方面可能富有成果的领域。
