Dr Aris conducted an investigation to see whether having a diagnosis of Schizophrenia (SZ) compared to Bipolar I Disorder (BD) influenced an individual's social cognition skills, specifically their ability to recognise facial emotions. Facial emotion recognition accuracy was measured using a standardised photographic recognition scale, which was scored from 0 (unable to recognise any emotions) to 50 (perfect emotion recognition).
