Objective:
This study explores whether social cognition and social functioning improve after a mindfulness-based social cognition training (SocialMIND).
Methods:
Thirty-eight outpatients with psychosis completed an assessment with social cognition (Eyes Test, Ambiguous Intentions and Hostility Questionnaire [AIHQ], and Hinting Task) and social functioning tasks (Personal and Social Performance [PSP] scale) before and after eight SocialMIND weekly sessions. Mean differences between timepoints were standardized and 95% confidence intervals were obtained with a paired samples t-test.
Results:
The scores of the Eyes Test (95% CI [.43, 3.32], d = .48), the Hostility Bias subscale (AIHQ) (95% CI [-.29, -.01], d = .44), and the self-care difficulties subscale (PSP) (95% CI [-.77, -.09], d = .45) improved after the intervention.
Conclusions:
and Implications for practice: The results of SocialMIND-8 are very promising in terms of developing comprehensive rehabilitation programs. Further trials must address its effectiveness against a control group during longer follow-up periods. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
