This study aims to provide new empirical evidence to help determine the relationships between these constructs in schizophrenia. Methods: 299 stabilised patients with schizophrenia aged 18–65 years old were recruited. After having into account exclusion criteria, final sample was contained 284 patients. The Emotion Recognition Assessment Test (ERAT) was used to assess six basic emotions. To assess the theory of mind (ToM), the Hinting Task and the Faux-Pas Test were used, and the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP) was administered to assess cognitive functioning. Bivariate and multivariate analyses (partial correlations, canonical correlation, regression analysis, and confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis) were conducted. Results: Statistically significant relationships were found between the subtests of the SCIP and social cognitive measures. The redundancy coefficient in the canonical analysis was 0.13. The CFA analysis showed that the best model has a two-factor structure, in which neurocognition and social cognition are correlated factors. Less than 10% of patients with impaired cognitive functioning have a performance within normal range on social cognition tests. Conclusions: The findings show that neurocognition and social cognition are independent but related constructs. date: 2019-10 type: Artículo type: PeerReviewed identifier: Artículo Materias > Psicología Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Investigación > Producción Científica Cerrado Inglés Introduction: There are mixed findings regarding the relationships between neurocognition and social cognition in schizophrenia.
