Abstrakt: Videotaped social interactions were shown to a population of schizophrenics and controls who were asked to comment on the emotional state of the principal protagonist. Their free responses were subjected to a content analysis to examine which of three possible explanations of known schizophrenic inaccuracies on this task were responsible: formal thought disorder, selective avoidance of psychological factors, or perceptual/attentional deficits. Neither selective avoidance nor marked thought disorder were found to explain these errors. The schizophrenics as a group rated much the same, irrespective of clinical profile. Their judgements of personality were less clear-cut than the controls.
