    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Individuals with psychotic disorders show impaired self-appraising ability, dissimulating more than healthy individuals. This dissimulation relates partly to illness type but not chronicity.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Self-appraising ability is crucial for social interaction.
    • Dissimulation, or the tendency to conceal or misrepresent, can indicate deficits in self-perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dissimulation function as a potential indicator of impaired self-appraising ability.
    • To compare dissimulation levels between non-psychiatric individuals and psychiatric patients with psychotic disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Lie-Scale scores to estimate the dissimulation function.
    • Compared 60 non-psychiatric normal individuals with 133 psychiatric cases from two major psychotic groups.

    Main Results:

    • A significant difference in dissimulation was found between normal and abnormal individuals.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Psychiatric patients exhibited significantly higher levels of dissimulation compared to the normal group.
  • Dissimulation did not correlate with illness chronicity but showed a partial relationship with illness typology.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dissimulation, as measured by Lie-Scale scores, serves as a valid indicator of impaired self-appraising ability in individuals.
    • Psychotic disorders are associated with heightened dissimulation, suggesting difficulties in self-perception relative to others.
    • The degree of dissimulation is influenced by the type of psychotic illness rather than its duration.
