Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Social skills deficits are common in schizophrenia.
  • Existing assessment methods for social skills in schizophrenia are limited.
  • An information-processing model of social skills provides a framework for assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a new instrument, the Assessment of Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills (AIPSS), for evaluating social skills in schizophrenic patients.
  • To assess the psychometric properties of the AIPSS.
  • To compare social skills performance between schizophrenic outpatients and non-patients.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Assessment of Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills (AIPSS), a videotaped-based test.
  • Administration and scoring of the AIPSS by an examiner using a manual.

  • Measurement of abilities to describe, derive, and enact solutions to interpersonal social problems.
  • Study conducted with schizophrenic outpatients and a non-patient comparison group.

    • Main Results:

    • The AIPSS demonstrated adequate psychometric properties.
    • Schizophrenic patients showed significant social skills deficits across all AIPSS scales compared to non-patients.
    • Results partially supported the validity of the information-processing model of social skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The Assessment of Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills (AIPSS) is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing social skills in schizophrenia.
    • The AIPSS effectively differentiates between schizophrenic patients and non-patients, highlighting social deficits.
    • The findings contribute to understanding social cognition in schizophrenia and support an information-processing model.
