While crucial limiting the spread of virus, “social distancing” may lead severe psychological consequences, especially in lonely individuals. We used cross-sectional (n=380) and longitudinal (n=74) designs investigate links between loneliness, mental health symptoms (MHS) risk perception affective young adults who implemented social distancing during first two weeks state epidemic threat...

Research suggests that people with schizophrenia have autonomic dysfunctions. These been linked to functioning problems, symptoms and considered a risk factor for illness chronicity. The aim of this study is introduce new Mobile Health (mHealth) method using wearable technology assessing activity in people's everyday life. We evaluate the acceptability characterise association between features abnormalities. Thirty participants 25 controls were asked wear mHealth device measuring movements...

Theoretical models suggest that loneliness may be linked to abnormal social information processing and reduced emotion regulation capacity; yet these effects have mostly been investigated using self-report methods. Therefore, the current preregistered study examined whether is associated with objective subjective markers of bottom-up emotional reactivity cognitive reappraisal efficiency in a cohort 150 young adults (18–35 years old) recruited reflect distribution scores Polish population....

Loneliness has been recognized as a major public health concern affecting individuals' everyday social functioning. Although hypothesized, the association between chronic loneliness, neural responses, and parasympathetic regulation during information processing remains underexplored. This study aimed to compare responses affective content in well-powered samples of participants with different loneliness levels. In this study, 104 (52 females) healthy young adults were recruited based on...

Aims Psychotic symptoms fluctuate over time and effective regular monitoring may contribute to relapse prevention improve long‐term outcomes. In this proof‐of‐concept study we test the feasibility, acceptability potential usefulness of a novel digital method assessing association between physiological signals psychotic symptom distress. Methods Fifteen participants with first episode psychosis were asked use self‐assessment mobile phone application for 10 days while using wrist worn device...

Both cognitive appraisals of risks associated with the specific disease and affective response to crisis situations have been shown shape an individual pandemics. COVID-19 pandemic measures introduced contain it present unparalleled challenge mental well-being worldwide. Here, we examine relationship between self-reported biases (CB) emotion regulation skills (ER), risk perception response, (MWB). 511 individuals completed General Health Questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Davos Assessment...

Background Patients with schizophrenia are deficient in multiple aspects of social cognition, including biological motion perception. In the present study we investigated ability to read information from point-light stimuli schizophrenia. Methodology/Principal Findings Participants paranoid and healthy controls were presented a task depicting actions two agents either engaged communicative interaction, or acting independently each other. For stimulus, participants asked decide whether...

Abstract Social cognition deficits are observed both in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). This may be due to dysfunction of the amygdala network, which is a common feature diseases. In this study, SCZ (n = 48) or MTLE 31) healthy controls (HC, n 47) completed assessments mentalising (Reading Mind Eyes Test, RMET) basic cognitive processing, e.g., working memory, executive functions psychomotor speed (Trail-Making Test B Digit Symbol). were also...

Social predictive coding is now a well-established phenomenon in healthy individuals. It has been demonstrated that the communicative gestures of one agent may be effectively used to predict actions other agents. Individuals with schizophrenia often present social-cognitive deficits. The aim this paper examine interpersonal patients schizophrenia. Forty-six participants and 40 controls (HC) completed simultaneous masking detection task (Interpersonal Detection Task; IDT), during which they...

Abstract Detection of mental disorders from textual input is an emerging field for applied machine and deep learning methods. Here, we explore the limits automated detection autism spectrum disorder (ASD) schizophrenia (SCZ). We compared performance of: (1) dedicated diagnostic tools that involve collecting data, (2) methods to data gathered by these tools, (3) psychiatrists. Our article tests effectiveness several baseline approaches, such as bag words dictionary-based vectors, followed a...

Background Recognition of communicative interactions is a complex social cognitive ability which associated with specific neural activity in healthy individuals. However, correlates interaction processing from whole-body motion have not been known patients schizophrenia (SCZ). Therefore, the current study aims to examine recognition SCZ by using displays dyadic downgraded minimalistic point-light presentations. Methods Twenty-six controls (HC) and 25 were asked judge whether two agents...

The investigation of the ability to perceive, recognize and judge upon social intentions, such as communicative on basis body motion is a growing research area. Cross-cultural differences in perceive interpret biological motion, however, have been poorly investigated so far. Progress this domain strongly depends availability suitable stimulus material. In present method paper, we describe multilingual CID-5, an extension CID-5 database, allowing for how non-conventional gestures are...

Introduction: The ability to detect and interpret social interactions (SI) is one of the crucial skills enabling people operate in world. Multiple lines evidence converge indicate preferential processing SI when compared individual actions multiple agents, even if were visually degraded minimalistic point-light displays (PLDs). Here, we present a novel PLD dataset (Social Perception Interaction Database; SoPID) that may be used for studying levels information processing. Methods: During...

Dysfunction in the understanding of social signals has been reported persons with epilepsy, which may partially explain lower levels life satisfaction this patient population. Extensive assessment is necessary, particularly when mesial temporal lobe, responsible for emotion processing, affected. The authors examined multiple perception patients lobe epilepsy (MTLE), including judgments point-light motion displays human communicative interactions (Communicative Interactions Database-5...

There is a long-standing debate on the influence of physiological signals social behavior. Recent studies suggested that heart rate variability (HRV) may be marker cognitive processes. However, this evidence preliminary and limited to laboratory studies. In study, 25 participants were assessed with cognition battery asked wear wearable device measuring HRV for 6 consecutive days. The results showed reduced correlated higher hostility attribution bias. no relationship was found between other...

MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) is a contemporary standard for assessment of cognitive functions in schizophrenia. The aim the study was to examine association between electroencephalographic spectral power and wide range measured with MCCB.Thirty-nine patients schizophrenia (27 male, mean age 28.2 ± 5.2 years) underwent EEG recordings were assessed MCCB. visually inspected manually cleaned from artifacts subjected analysis EEGlab. Absolute relative as percentage total computed...
