The main theoretical approaches to the study of disorders of social cognition in schizophrenia: current status and prospects of development
Abstract
The article deals with the basic theoretical constructs, which became the basis of modern research of social cognition in schizophrenia's violations: social percep tion, pragmatic communication, attributional style, the theory of mind and oth ers. We summed empirical data (based on these constructs) and maintained its fragmented, difficult to compile character. The tendency towards unification of the empirical data on the basis of the methodology of neurosciences, namely the social brain hypothesis were fixed. The lack of attention to the motivational com ponent in modern studies of violations of social cognition in schizophrenia is emphasized. We describe the original complex model of violations of social intel ligence, including the operational, regulatory motivational and behavioral com ponents. The data of empirical studies demonstrating the important role of moti vational component in the form of social anhedonia violations of social cognition in schizophrenia is listed.
