In the current study, the investigators propose to measure the five domains of social
cognition identified by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) as relevant to
individuals with psychosis (i.e., theory of mind, attribution style, emotion recognition,
social perception, and social knowledge). The investigators will also explore the
association between different domains of social cognition and outcomes relevant to psychotic
disorder (e.g., symptomatology, social functioning, and vocational functioning).

There is growing evidence that individuals with longstanding psychotic disorders suffer from
deficits in social cognition (i.e., the cognitive skills needed to successfully navigate
social interactions). However, to date, there have been few attempts to measure multiple
components of social cognition within the same population of individuals with psychosis.
Thus, the interrelationships between various aspects of social cognition remain unclear. In
