Description
Summary:This article is devoted to investigation of emotional symptoms and social anhedonia in clinical context. The article describes the most important theories of emotion including modern concept of «emotional intelligence». Growing attention is paid to investigate the emotional experience in laboratory settings, and the study is continued this tradition. Schizophrenia subjects experienced more intense and more variable negative emotions than controls. Our findings suggest that patients with schizophrenia have social cognitive deficits, difficulties in perception of emotions and high level blocking of emotions. Finally, analyses of results suggested the possibility of a shift in the structure of emotional diseases in schizophrenia.
